| Özet |
| Fiscal space is a crucial factor that determines state capacity. Both state capacity and fiscal space, in particular, have played significant roles in facilitating rapid recovery from the pandemic. However, a report by UNESCAP (Nov. 2020) suggests that Small Island Developing States (SIDS, hereafter) with limited fiscal space have been more vulnerable to the negative impacts of the pandemic. SIDS are among the world's lowest global emitters of greenhouse gases but are also the most vulnerable to natural disasters caused by climate change. These countries are particularly threatened by irreversible effects such as sea-level rise, ocean acidification, coastal erosion, and saltwater intrusion (UNCTAD, 2022). These challenges are existential threats to the 65 million people who call SIDS home, according to IPCC (2019) data. Moreover, limited fiscal space for these countries, already challenged by climate change before the pandemic, to provide resources to compensate for the economic losses caused by the pandemic will make implementing climate change measures even more challenging. This study provides a comparison of SIDS through stringency measures and their economic effects including responses to climate change, pre- and post-Covid-19 fiscal space. Basic statistical tools are employed to reveal if there is a correlation between fiscal space, responses to climate change, and recovery from the pandemic. The study can provide an appropriate framework to understand why some SIDS outperformed others during the pandemic and how these countries can better implement measures against climate change in the post-Covid-19 era. |
