Small states, like island nations and coastal countries, are heavily impacted by climate change even though they contribute very little to the problem. Their locations make them highly vulnerable to rising sea levels, stronger storms, and ocean changes, which threaten their homes, water supplies, farms, and wildlife.
These countries often don’t have enough money or resources to handle the damage from climate change. Rebuilding after disasters and making their infrastructure climate-resilient is very expensive for them. They also struggle to get international help and funding due to complicated processes.
People living in small states face serious challenges because of climate change. Many lose their homes and jobs, and there is less food and clean water available. This makes life even harder for already vulnerable communities, including indigenous groups who have strong connections to their land.
On the global stage, small states are pushing for more action to combat climate change. They argue that bigger, richer countries, which contribute more to the problem, should reduce their emissions and help vulnerable nations adapt. Their plight highlights the need for global cooperation and fair solutions to address climate change impacts.

Climate change has affected the global diversity of our planet to extreme extents. The potential long-term impacts of climate change on global biodiversity are given below.
Conservation of our biodiversity can be done by the following methods.
- Reducing greenhouse gases by using energy more efficiently and using more renewable sources.
- Restoring damaged ecosystems, protecting more wild spaces, and promoting environmental justice.
- Creating more wildlife corridors and protected green spaces.
- Funding research and monitoring of wildlife.
