They have high exposure and vulnerability to hazards such as cyclones, floods, droughts, sea-level rise, earthquakes, and tsunamis. The disaster mortality rate in SIDS is more than double the global average, according to Sendai Framework Monitor data. Because of their size and remoteness, and the recurrence of more intense and frequent disasters while still recovering, SIDS disaster costs are also among the highest in the world. On average, they experience disaster losses seven times higher than other countries (as a share of their GDP). </p> <p class="undefined ">The <a href="https://sdgs.un.org/conferences/sids2024" data-type="URL" data-id="https://sdgs.un.org/conferences/sids2024">4th International Conference on Small Island Developing States (SIDS4) </a>was a unique opportunity to integrate disaster risk reduction (DRR) into the successor framework to the SAMOA Pathway.
