To begin to assess and find a relationship between the aforementioned terms, we mst first loo!

at the concept of a "mall Island #eveloping "tate$ #issecting the name we find two terms in

particlar from which we ma% start anal%sis, that is, &"mall Island' and eveloping'$ (e ma%

consider contries in the )aribbean sch as Trinidad * Tobago and +renada to name a few, since

these contries fall into the scope of this concept$

)limate )hange, +lobal (arming and "ea evel ise, de to the si.e of these nations, is of

particlar importance as the% will be most greatl% affected b% their effects$ /n e0ample of this

can be seen in the aldives where hndreds of metres of shoreline has alread% been lost$

/lso since these contries have been classified as being developing nations, it is important that

their practices be in !eeping with International "tandards as it relates to "stainable

#evelopment and at the same time redcing their )arbon 2ootprint$ )arbon Trading alsoencorages both these developing and developed nations to redce their carbon emissions$

Therefore, the onl% wa% to ensre that both arms of the "I#" concept are satisfied it is integral

that sond environmental engineering practices are sed$ It is also important to note that
