Building on the momentum of the inaugural in-person gathering in Hawai'i in April, the  Local2030 Islands Network will again convene on April 23-25, 2024 in Honolulu, Hawai‘i its global Communities of Practice on Data for Climate Resilience and Sustainable & Regenerative Tourism. These global communities bring together technical experts, cultural stewards, academics, policy makers, academics and researchers, and political leaders working in and across islands to advance the local and culturally-informed implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and bolster climate resilience through the sharing of island solutions. 

With the theme of “Island Solutions for a Resilient Future”, this convening will serve as a space to foster collaboration, share good practices and lessons learned, receive technical training, spark innovation, and exchange knowledge and unique island experiences in a dynamic peer-to-peer forum. The event, open to all, invites both previous and new participants and technical partners from islands and their champions to demonstrate island-led approaches, action, and solutions for resilience and regeneration.

A final agenda, speakers list, and workshop sessions are forthcoming. You can find the event agenda here.
