This is true for most developing countries, but particularly so for SIDS. The impediments are daunting, whether they be natural, indigenous or originate from global conditions. While the responsibility for meeting their socio-economic aspirations should rest primarily with the SIDS themselves, the world community, including strategic part- ners, UN system organizations and the private as well as in climate variability and change and sector, have the duty to commit resources and their impacts on sea-level rise.

Les invasions acridiennes ne sont pas vraiment fréquentes étant donné que la dernière invasion acridienne d’une grande ampleur remonte à 3 ans de 1997 à 2001. Une invasion de la même ampleur a duré 18 ans de 1939 à 1957. En revanche, les cyclones et les inondations sont les cataclysmes les plus redoutables car au moins, tous les ans 1 ou 2 cyclones de forte intensité touchent Madagascar, engendrant ainsi des inondations, des naufrages, des famines et des épidémies. La régularité de ces catastrophes a des effets néfastes sur les divers efforts du Gouvernement pour mener des actions de développement de l’Ile.
