本章介绍小岛屿发展中国家的地理、人口和人口统计、经济和卫生状况。报告讨论了小岛屿发展中国家易受气候变化影响（自然灾害、极端天气事件）的驱动因素以及这些国家面临的一些主要健康风险和适应办法。所引用的例子和案例研究主要来自太平洋岛屿国家，尽管加勒比和印度洋区域的发展中岛屿国家也普遍面临着同样的困境。
This chapter describes the geography, population and demography, economy and health status of small island developing states (SIDS). The drivers of the vulnerability of SIDS to the impacts of climate change (natural disasters, extreme weather events) and some of the key health risks and adaptive options these nations face are discussed. Examples and case studies cited are taken predominantly from Pacific island nations, although their plight is shared more broadly across developing island nations of the Caribbean and Indian Ocean regions.
