205, after three decades and three programmes of action small island developing states remain a special case for sustainable development given their unique vulnerabilities,https://sdgs.un.org/topics/small-island-developing-states,island developing,Goal 14: Life Below Water,14
206, we note the remarkable successes and progress that they have made over the years and welcome in this regard the ownership leadership and considerable efforts that have been demonstrated by small island developing states along with the support provided by the international community,https://sdgs.un.org/topics/small-island-developing-states,island developing,Goal 14: Life Below Water,14
207, during this period small island developing states have and continue to provide stable and democratic governance for their citizenry and have strived to provide productive economies and safe societies throughout unrelenting turbulent global times,https://sdgs.un.org/topics/small-island-developing-states,island developing,Goal 14: Life Below Water,14
208, small island developing states were heavily affected by two once in a generation crises that struck in and while grappling with even more intense and frequent disasters and natural hazards,https://sdgs.un.org/topics/small-island-developing-states,generation crises,Goal 14: Life Below Water,14

214, small island developing states are inherently and uniquely vulnerable to exogenous shocks owing to inter alia their small size geographical remoteness highly dispersed populations the limited scale and undiversified nature of their economies high dependence on external markets and extreme exposure to disasters and natural hazards and the effects of climate change,https://sdgs.un.org/topics/small-island-developing-states,island developing,Goal 14: Life Below Water,14
215, recognizing vulnerability does not mean that small island developing states exhibit weakness or lack potential for development,https://sdgs.un.org/topics/small-island-developing-states,island developing,Goal 14: Life Below Water,14
216, rather it means recognizing that they are disproportionately impacted in terms of physical destruction and non economic and economic losses to a far greater scale than elsewhere,https://sdgs.un.org/topics/small-island-developing-states,disproportionately impacted,Goal 14: Life Below Water,14

220, at the same time the international financial architecture should go further to fully address the unique development circumstances of small island developing states and make accessing concessional finance easier for them which could mitigate their fiscal constraints and reduce the risk of indebtedness especially for highly indebted small island developing states and prevent the reversal of hard earned development gains,https://sdgs.un.org/topics/small-island-developing-states,island developing,Goal 14: Life Below Water,14
221, therefore the special case of small island developing states must continue to be recognized by the international community and must take into account these new and emerging challenges,https://sdgs.un.org/topics/small-island-developing-states,island developing,Goal 14: Life Below Water,14
