This week, the newly released Island Project report by Climatebase Fellows lays out a roadmap for how global, regional, and local actors can collaborate more effectively to unlock the full potential of climate innovation in SIDS. Meanwhile, the Bougainville Women’s Federation advocates for more women in local leadership and economic development, and rising seas could put Easter Island’s iconic statues at risk by 2080. Plus, Island Innovation is hiring its new Content creator!
The Island Project report – Strengthening the support ecosystem
The Island Project report maps the current support ecosystem and shares insights from innovators, community leaders, researchers, funders, and other stakeholders advancing climate innovation, entrepreneurship, and sustainable development across SIDS. It explores both the challenges and opportunities unique to island contexts and offers strategic, practical recommendations to help accelerate impact.
