This report presents key findings from the IPCC’s Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) for small island developing states (SIDS). It extracts SIDS-specific data, trends and analysis directly from AR5, summarising it in a short volume to make it accessible to all audiences, and highlights key opportunities to achieve adaptation, mitigation and development.
