Small Islands: Looking Forward - Beyond 2004

(Click here for complete version)
Aims & Context
The aim of this short document is to contribute a forward-looking perspective to the ongoing review of the Small Islands Developing States (SIDS) Programme of Action, which will culminate in an international meeting in Mauritius in August 2004. The document has been prepared by UNESCO as part of its own contribution to the Barbados+10 (B+10) process (http://portal.unesco.org/islandsBplus10)

This working draft is designed to encourage reflection and debate. It has been based on various studies and papers produced recently. [1] Readers are invited and encouraged to contribute their ideas and suggestions. The intention is that the draft will be revised periodically in the lead-up to the August 2004 meeting in Mauritius, with updated drafts accessible through the special UNESCO web site for the B+10 process.
