The priority areas are: <ul class="highlights"> <li> climate change and sea- level rise</li> <li> natural and environmental disasters</li> <li> management of wastes</li> <li> coastal and marine resources</li> <li> freshwater resources</li> <li> resources</li> <li> energy resources</li> <li> tourism resources</li> <li> biodiversity resources</li> <li> national institutions and administrative capacity</li> <li> regional institutions and technical cooperation</li> <li> transport and communication</li> <li> science and technology</li> <li> human resource development</li> 聽</ul> The BPOA further identified cross-sectoral areas requiring attention: capacity building; institutional development at the national, regional and international levels; cooperation in the transfer of environmentally sound technologies; trade and economic diversification; and finance. The comprehensive structure of the BPOA elaborates principles and sets out specific strategies at national, regional and international levels over the short, medium and long terms in support of the sustainable development of SIDS. <p></p> <strong>SIDS-specific challenges</strong> <p></p> The BPOA highlights the special challenges and constraints that cause major set-backs to the socio-economic development of SIDS, some of which had already been addressed in Agenda 21, including small size and geographic isolation that prevent economies of scale. In addition, the BPOA underlines the excessive dependence of SIDS on international trade; high population density, which increases the pressure on already limited resources; overuse of resources and premature depletion; relatively small watersheds and threatened supplies of fresh water; costly public administration and infrastructure; and limited institutional capacities and domestic markets. <p></p> <strong>Monitoring of the BPOA</strong> <p></p> The Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) was given the responsibility to follow up on the implementation of the BPOA and review progress in the context of its Multi-Year thematic Programme of Work. <div id="clear"></div> </div> <div id="clear"></div> <div class="whiteBox" style="width:100%;margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px;"> <div class="boxTitle">Documents</div> <div class="boxSpace" style="font-size:12px;"> <div id="topStoriesTop"> <span class="topStoriesText"><span style="font-size:11px;font-weight:700;">Outcome Documents</span></span> </div> <ul class="highlights" style="margin-bottom:5px;"> <li> <a target='_blank' href='http://www.un.org/ga/search/view_doc.asp?symbol=http://www.un.org/documents/ga/conf167/aconf167-9.htm&Lang=E'>A/CONF.167/9 - Report of the Global Conference on the Sustainable Development of SIDS</a> <br> <a class='frontLink' target='_blank' href='http://www.un.org/ga/search/view_doc.asp?symbol=http://www.un.org/documents/ga/conf167/aconf167-9.htm&Lang=A'>[Arabic]</a> <a class='frontLink' target='_blank' href='http://www.un.org/ga/search/view_doc.asp?symbol=http://www.un.org/documents/ga/conf167/aconf167-9.htm&Lang=C'>[Chinese]</a> <a class='frontLink' target='_blank' href='http://www.un.org/ga/search/view_doc.asp?symbol=http://www.un.org/documents/ga/conf167/aconf167-9.htm&Lang=E'>[English]</a> <a class='frontLink' target='_blank' href='http://www.un.org/ga/search/view_doc.asp?symbol=http://www.un.org/documents/ga/conf167/aconf167-9.htm&Lang=F'>[French]</a> <a class='frontLink' target='_blank' href='http://www.un.org/ga/search/view_doc.asp?symbol=http://www.un.org/documents/ga/conf167/aconf167-9.htm&Lang=R'>[Russian]</a> <a class='frontLink' target='_blank' href='http://www.un.org/ga/search/view_doc.asp?symbol=http://www.un.org/documents/ga/conf167/aconf167-9.htm&Lang=S'>[Spanish]</a> </li> </ul> <div id="topStoriesTop"> <span class="topStoriesText"><span style="font-size:11px;font-weight:700;">Meeting reports</span></span> </div> <ul class="highlights" style="margin-bottom:5px;"> <li> <a target='_blank' href='http://www.un.org/documents/ga/conf167/aconf167-5.htm'>A/CONF.167/5 - Statement by the Group of Eminent Persons on the Sustainable Development of Small Island Developing States, Bridgetown, Barbados, 21-22 April 1994</a> </li> <li> <a target='_blank' href='http://www.un.org/documents/ga/conf167/aconf167-6.htm'>A/CONF.167/6 - Statement bY H.E.
