Protecting island populations

Reducing hazards to island populations

Description

Protecting island populations involves implementing targeted measures to safeguard the unique communities, ecosystems, and resources of islands from threats such as climate change, invasive species, overexploitation, and natural disasters. Essential actions include strengthening disaster preparedness, conserving biodiversity, enhancing sustainable resource management, and supporting resilient infrastructure. These strategies aim to reduce vulnerability, preserve cultural and ecological integrity, and ensure the long-term survival and well-being of island inhabitants in the face of environmental and socio-economic challenges.
