  Greetings from the Pacific Small Island Developing States. It is my pleasure to welcome you to the website of the Pacific SIDS. We are a diverse group of small island nations in the Pacific that work together to promote the interests of our countries in the forums of the United Nations. While our islands are different, we share many vulnerabilities. Our small size and remoteness impact on our progress toward sustainable development and the low-lying nature of many of our islands exposes us to the adverse effects of climate change and undermines our food and water security.
