Third International SIDS Conference - Caribbean Subregional Preparatory Meeting

In 2013, national and regional preparatory meetings will convene to develop inputs for the Third International Conference on Small Island Developing States (SIDS), to be held in 2014. These preparatory meetings will be held in the Atlantic, Indian Ocean, and South China Sea (AIMS) regions, Caribbean region and Pacific regions, as well as inter-regionally. The location of the Caribbean sub-regional meeting has not yet been determined. The decision on the preparatory process for the Conference was taken in the UN General Assembly (UNGA) on 21 December 2012, following consultations in the Second Committee, which approved Resolution A/C.2/67/L.40.
