“It is imperative that we devise strategies to bridge the sustainability gaps between Island Nations.” Words from James Ellsmoor, founder and Director of Island Innovation, a network operating across island communities across the globe. Serving as a beacon of hope in the Caribbean, the organization’s major role is to convey people and stimulate information-sharing to implement innovative solutions to pressing environmental challenges.
For years, Island Innovation has spearheaded sustainable development in the Small Island Developing States (SIDS). The organisation does not directly implement projects on the ground. Rather, they have a network of non-governmental organizations, the private sector, media, universities and academia and serve as a bridge across all these sectors whilst considering their respective roles.
