As a Small Island Development State (SIDS) which has traditionally depended on our natural resource base, we are extremely vulnerable to external economic shocks. Additionally, the land space of our twin island republic is relatively limited and planning for future built development must therefore be sensitive to our fragile ecosystems and long term sustainability concerns.
