Small Island Developing States, known as SIDS, are a group of 58 territories recognized by the UN as developing with specific social, economic, and environmental vulnerabilities. Jamaica, Samoa, Singapore, and Puerto Rico are all islands classified as SIDS.

These characteristics decrease their resistance and resilience to impending global climate and environmental changes.
