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.
What’s New
The Local2030 Islands Network shares exciting news from the inaugural Green Growth Summit at the 16th Annual Conference on Island Sustainability in Guam, which brought together members, partners, and supporters of the Network to advance green growth partnerships on islands. Green Growth partnerships, rooted in principles of circularity, localization, and impact dashboards to measure progress towards goals, is a Network supported initiative. Partnerships are unique to each island’s culture and context, and forged in collaboration with government, community partners, the private sector and academia.
H.E. President Hilda C. Heine of the Republic of the Marshall Islands and Governor Lou Leon Guerrero of Guam signed a joint statement committing to the foundational pillars of the Local2030 Islands Network, and acknowledging that “islands are the original circular economies and Green Growth is the means to get there” The leaders affirmed their Micronesia’s commitment to advancing strategies and partnerships for Green Growth. The Marshall Islands is launching its own Green Growth Partnership, joining Hawaii, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and Palau. This announcement builds on President Heine’s keynote address, where she underscored the importance of regional collaboration and sustainable action rooted in island values.
