Small island economies (SIEs) are at the forefront of climate
change. Their economies and livelihoods are already impacted by the
effects of a changing climate due to rising sea levels,
increasingly frequent and more powerful storms, reduced access to
drinking water and damage to ecosystems.
This spotlight edition of the KPMG net zero readiness series
highlights SIEs and how they can attract private capital on their
journeys toward net zero. It assesses 36 countries and territories
on their relative preparedness and ambition to achieve net zero,
and their ability to attract private capital to fund the transition
to a sustainable economy — while highlighting examples of
practices that are already being deployed.
