SIDS Experts Meetings
	Background Information
	In December 2002, the University of the West Indies Center for Environment and Development, supported by the UNDP, organized a brainstorming session of SIDS experts in San Pedro, Belize. The session analyzed the effectiveness and impact of the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) in the WSSD process and elaborated a set of recommendations for AOSIS. These recommendations were adopted in February 2003, and formed the strategic background for the Mauritius preparatory process for AOSIS. One of the key recommendations was the need to generate high quality informative case studies on the special case of SIDS from a variety of angles. With this in mind, UWICED, supported by UNDP and UNDESA, organized a series of expert meetings that generated numerous valuable reports on the sustainable development challenges facing SIDS. The topics included energy, trade and tourism, waste management, capacity building and education for sustainable development, oceans management, and science and technology. In addition, a specific proposal for cooperation amongst SIDS universities was also generated. Return to Meeting Home
