Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges facing the world today. Small states are particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, as they often have limited resources and capacity to adapt. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the vulnerability and resilience of small states in the face of climate change.

The book begins by examining the unique challenges that small states face in adapting to climate change. These challenges include limited financial and human resources, geographic isolation, and a high dependence on natural resources. The book then goes on to discuss the different ways that small states are building resilience to climate change. These strategies include investing in renewable energy, developing early warning systems, and implementing climate-resilient agriculture practices.

The book also provides policy recommendations for how to build more resilient small states. These recommendations include increasing financial and technical support for small states, promoting regional cooperation, and investing in research and development. The book concludes by arguing that small states are not helpless in the face of climate change. With the right policies and support, they can build resilient communities that are able to withstand the challenges of a changing climate.
