Adapting to Climate Change in Small Island Developing States. What are small island developing states and why are they so vulnerable to the impacts of climate change? Dr. Stacy-ann Robinson, assistant professor at Colby College, investigates the human, social, and policy dimensions of climate change adaptation and is a certified expert in adaptation finance. Robinson’s work has appeared in Nature, Nature Climate Change, and other leading journals, and she contributed to the sixth assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Robinson earned her Ph.D. in Global Environmental Change from The Australian National University and has 15 years of experience in government, nonprofit, and private sectors, including time spent representing the government of Jamaica in the second committee of the United Nations General Assembly.
