So much has changed in a year, and the need to be better prepared to face the #ClimateCrisis has never been so urgent. How has your understanding of #ClimateResilience changed this year? What does it mean to be #ClimateSmart in 2021? Tell us below ⬇️🌤

As #SIDS everywhere #BuildBackBetter, we turn to nature to remind us how to #renew & #regenerate once more. One of the Sustainable Islands Platform pillars is the #CircularEconomy - and we want to hear how this concept has changed for you this year ⬇️♻️

[IDB Sustainable Islands Platform (SIsP) @IDB_SIsP]

What does the #BlueEconomy mean to you? For #SIDS everywhere, the blue economy has become a renewed focus post #Covid19 as we work to understand how to make our societies more resilient. We want to hear about your #BlueRecovery in the comments below ⬇️🎣

@ggonzzalezz @AngelGurriaQ @OECD @AdamRogers2030 @DrLumala @AkyalaA @nancy_marangu @nomoreslaves @NiliMajumder @martinfredras #SIDS deserve special attention. Adoption of an ageeed multidimensional vulnerability index is top priority in order to give fiscal space and access to concessional funding. This is the opportunity for a new development model to transform economies #UNDP4SIDS #RIsingUpForSIDS
