special challenges and unique vulnerability to sustainable development being

these. The 2014 conference will focus on assessing the progress to date and the
remaining gaps in the implementation of the Mauritius Strategy for the further
implementation of the programme of action for sustainable development of
SIDS. Representatives of CARICOM Member States will be meeting in Jamaicaahead of another meeting in Barbados later this year to prepare for the
