Geography
Spanish term or phrase: territorio insular
El efecto invernadero, la destrucción de la capa de ozono, la emisión de rayos ultravioletas, entre otros, causan la elevación de la temperatura y del nivel medio del mar lo cual amenaza a nuestro territorio insular.

I know this literally means insular territory - but was wondering if there is a more 'geographically correct' term?

neutral  Jim Tucker: answer may be good, but just as a general practice note that the googled links are not native EN sources - particularly the invenia one, which is full of errors in the language - so not the best support for a point - still just making a point about method

Explanation:
Hola Caroline.
Espero esto te ayude.
Suerte:-)

Aquí te pego las definiciones del RHW de "insular"...que creo ha de ser igual en al castellano:

in·su·lar (inÆsà lÃr, insÆyÃ-), adj.
1. of or pertaining to an island or islands: insular possessions.
2. dwelling or situated on an island.
3. forming an island: insular rocks.
4. detached; standing alone; isolated.
5. of, pertaining to, or characteristic of islanders.
