Delegates from across the world are on the Caribbean Island of Antigua and Barbuda for the 4th International Conference on Small Island Developing States (SIDS). \u00a0<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A welcome reception was held last night at Government House for heads of delegations and guests attending the SIDS 4 Conference which is being held under the theme, \u201cCharting the course toward resilient prosperity.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Conference will assess the ability of SIDS to achieve sustainable development, including the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals. It will result in an intergovernmentally agreed, focused, forward-looking and action-oriented political outcome document. Small Island Developing States (SIDS) comprise 37 UN member nations and 20 associate members of regional commissions. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

UN Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres in a toast at last night\u2019s welcome reception thanked the government and people of Antigua and Barbuda for accepting the challenge to organise on its small island, a conference with 5,000 people.  <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Guterres said he hopes resilience and prosperity will be a reality and he trust the capacity of the people of small developing island States to guarantee that resilience and prosperity with one condition.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe need justice in international relations and especially justice in international economic and financial relations. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The people of Antigua and Barbuda, the people of the SIDS have not contributed to climate change, yet climate change is the existential threat of our lifetime, and you are in the frontline of the impacts of climate change.  <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is something deeply unfair in this situation,\u201d<\/em><\/strong> said the UN Secretary General.  <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

He noted the beauty of many islands were transformed into successful touristic centres, with many islands becoming middle income countries.  <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBecause you are middle income countries in a world in which GDP works as God, you have in the majority of situations no access to concessional funding, no access to debt relief, even if you suffer more than any other State in the world, the impacts of climate change, the impacts of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in relation to prices and interest rates, and to the fact that your economies are deeply impacted negatively by the way the world economic and financial rules are established.\u201d  <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guterres said this conference must not only be an expression of gratitude and admiration for the people of SIDS, but must be a call to action in order to make sure a move is made towards justice prevailing in climate, finance and the economy.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the situation of SIDS needs to be recognised and the rules of the system changed in order to make resilience and prosperity a reality.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
