Energy
Many islands face a lack of conventional energies being locally available, and are forced to import and/or use fossil fuels from the continent. These solutions make them dependent, are often costly and generate a strong ecological footprint and greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to climate change, which small islands may be the first victims of. In other cases, the energy requirements of households put a
lot of pressure on fragile island environments and local ecosystems – such as taking tropical wood from mangroves for firewood or coal production.
