From Macaronesia to the Caribbean in search of sustainability: delegations from 50 island regions will meet in Gran Canaria to discuss climate change

Excerpt from laprovincia.es

Gran Canaria will host the Sustainable Islands Summit from April 20-22, a forum now in its fourth edition after previous editions in Madeira (Portugal), Prince Albert Island (Canada), and the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis (Caribbean). The event will bring together scientists, businesses, and politicians from more than 50 island regions to share their experiences, projects, and ideas, all focused on common goals: adapting to climate change and transitioning to clean energy sources.

The event, whose main venue will be Expomeloneras in the south of the island, is organized by the Gran Canaria Island Council in collaboration with Island Innovation and with the support of Infecar. The Councilor for the Environment, Energy, Climate, and Knowledge, Raúl García Brink, emphasized the forum's "strategic value," which will allow the island to showcase its work in sustainability and energy transition, as well as forge alliances with other island territories facing similar challenges.
