Community of Practice (CoP)
A Community of Practice (CoP) is an interactive and member-driven network of people who come together to learn and support individual and group goals. The Local2030 Islands Network and partner organizations are developing the Resilient & Clean Energy Systems CoP, the Resilient Water Systems CoP, the Data for Climate Resilience CoP, the Sustainable & Regenerative Tourism CoP, and the Green Growth Partnerships CoP to enable islands to learn from one another with the support of island experts.
The Communities of Practice do not require their practitioners to be the official members or partners of the Local2030 Islands Network. The CoPs welcome any participants from representatives of island economies to those passionate in relevant expertise, fields, and organizations focused on island community development and resilience.
Resilient and Clean Energy Systems Community of Practice
The Resilient and Clean Energy Community of Practice (CoP) emphasizes the implementation of UN Sustainable Development Goal 7 and the broader Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development in islands in locally and culturally informed ways with a focus on capacity building to advance equitable and climate resilient energy solutions for islands. The L2030IN welcomes island stakeholders to help develop and participate in this CoP in partnership with the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
Resilient Water Systems Community of Practice
The Resilient Water Systems Community of Practice (CoP) emphasizes the implementation of UN Sustainable Development Goal 6 in islands in locally and culturally informed ways with a focus on capacity building to support integrated watershed management and holistic water systems management efforts.
The L2030IN welcomes island stakeholders to help develop and participate in this CoP in partnership with technical experts to help achieve locally led progress towards this critical sustainable development goal.
Data For Climate Resilience Community of Practice
The Data for Climate Resilience CoP is focused on supporting islands in using data to drive climate resilience and measure their progress on sustainability and climate goals. The L2030IN welcomes island stakeholders to help develop and participate in this CoP in partnership with Hawaii Local2030 Hub, Esri, and the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Sustainable & Regenerative Tourism Community of Practice
The Sustainable and Regenerative Tourism CoP is to provide peer-to-peer learning opportunities, targeted technical assistance for island-led initiatives, foster collaboration with various experts to develop sustainable and regenerative solutions and achieve island resilience goals. The L2030IN welcomes island stakeholders to help develop and participate in this CoP in partnership with Hawaii Local2030 Hub and the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Green Growth Partnerships Community of Practice
The Green Growth Partnerships CoP aims to bring together diverse stakeholders to collaborate on key initiatives that promote sustainable development, economic resilience, and environmental conservation in an island context. This CoP draws on the Network’s core mission and unique experience in building lasting partnerships by providing a space for interested members to explore tools, pathways, and readiness support to help members in measuring Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) outcomes in locally and culturally appropriate ways.
