Confirmed Cases

As many as 100,000 Japanese people were killed and another million injured, most of them civilians, when more than 300 American B-29 bombers dropped 1,500 tons of firebombs on the Japanese capital that night. The inferno the bombs created reduced an area of 15.8 square miles to ash. And, by some estimates, a million people were left homeless.

1. Provide SIDS with the necessary and adequate funding, including through innovative sources of financing, to assist SIDS in their mitigation and adaptation measures and efforts.
2. Commit to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to internationally agreed levels within an agreed time frame.
3. Emphasize the collection of information on limited and biologically precious resources that are being threatened in SIDS.

The threat posed by rising sea levels has been the centre piece of climate change negotiations and is the main issue emphasized by Small Island Developing States, also known as the SIDS. SIDS are already threatened by escalating tides, cyclones, flooding, damaged crops, increased disease, the inundation of coastal areas and the loss of freshwater supplies. SIDS are indeed on the "front lines" of climate change.
