dc.description.abstractThe six African SIDS i.e. Cape Verde, Comoros, Guinea Bissau, Mauritius, São Tomé and Príncipe, and the Seychelles face significant development challenges owing to their peculiar characteristics. African SIDS are inherently diverse, from size to their economic development. The ECA paper provides an overview of the vulnerability of African SIDS to climate change impacts and highlights the 'paradox of the small' in African SIDS. Authors of the paper define the paradox as the SIDS paying disproportionately for climate change compared to their small size. The ECA paper further illustrates resilience-building efforts underway to address climate change in the key economic sectors of tourism, agriculture, fisheries and renewable energy in African SIDS and opportunities to enhance these efforts.en
