It identifies gaps and needs facing the maritime transport sector in SIDS and highlights potential response measures with a view to more sustainable and resilient maritime transport systems, as environmental degradation and climate change threaten the very existence of SIDS, world hotspots of natural biodiversity and marine resources.
