Small Islands and Environmental Disasters
In recent years, small island nations have increasingly been struck by natural disasters. Some leaders worry that global climate change may become responsible for even greater disasters in the years to come.

These are some of the issues discussed in this episode of World Chronicle with the help of Anwarul K. Chowdhury, UN Under-Secretary-General and High Representative for the Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries and Small Island Developing States.
