Small Island Developing States (SIDS4)

2nd Global Online Stakeholder Consultation:
Inputs for Interactive Dialogues

Summary Report now available HERE!

The 4th International Conference on Small Island Developing States (SIDS4) will be held in Antigua and Barbuda from 27 - 30 May 2024, under the theme “Charting the course toward resilient prosperity”.

It will aim to assess the ability of small island developing States (SIDS) to achieve sustainable development, including the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals. The SIDS4 Conference will bring together leaders to agree on a new programme of action for SIDS with a focus on practical and impactful solutions and to forge new partnerships and cooperation at all levels. It will result in an intergovernmentally agreed, focused, forward-looking and action-oriented political outcome document.

As part of its formal programme, the SIDS4 Conference will feature five interactive and multi-stakeholder dialogues that will focus on addressing existing and emerging challenges and opportunities for the sustainable development of SIDS and ways and means to address them, including through the strengthening of collaborative partnerships.

From 15 December 2023 to 19 January 2024 a global online stakeholder consultation was held to solicit informal inputs from stakeholders related to the themes of the five interactive dialogues.

A summary report is now available highlighting key messages and takeaways from the consultation. Please, access the report here.
