Island Voices @ COP29

Sharing Climate Change Messages from Islanders to the World

11th November – 24th November 2024

Island Representation at COP29

Island Innovation will host the “Island Voices @COP29” virtual space to share key insights and developments related to island communities.

Our team is committed to ensure the representation of island communities and coverage of key relevant announcements. Our aim is to give a platform to islanders to gain the latest news and have a space discussing the threats that they are facing, as well as solutions from local business leaders, politicians and academics and provide a connection from COP29 to islanders across the world who cannot attend in person.

The platform is designed for those attending COP29 and those following from afar, and will connect both Small Island Developing States (SIDS) and Sub-National Island Jurisdictions (SNIJs).

Why sign up for
Island Voices @ COP29?

Frequently Asked Questions

Island Innovation’s mission is to drive sustainable change across islands and rural areas around the world. The devastating consequences of climate change due to rising greenhouse gas emissions are deeply concerning to us, as they have particularly severe consequences for islands. We are committed to helping our audience stay informed about this critical issue and doing everything in our power to help tackle the climate crisis!

COP29 is a crucial international summit that has the potential to turn the tide on global warming and avert the worst effects of climate change. We are planning to use this important opportunity by combining our knowledge of resilient, sustainable islands, with our proven ability to successfully collaborate with island communities around the world, to amplify the voices and knowledge of islanders to a global audience.

Island Voices @ COP29 is totally free! If you're in Dubai in-person you should make sure to sign up here in order to attend the Island of Hope event and meet the Island Innovation team.

All are welcome to participate in the island space – feel free to invite friends and colleagues. Participants can take part in every session, or simply choose the sessions most relevant to them, and are all encouraged to join the social media conversation.

The island voices will be broadcast LIVE, taking place over multiple days in various time zones. Ideally, we want guests to join live as there will be opportunities to ask questions and interact with fellow attendees. However, all sessions (excluding the networking sessions) will be recorded and made available online a few weeks after the event.
Island Innovation is a global network that connects island stakeholders through digital communication and events. Our platform helps drive sustainable change across island and rural communities by sharing innovative projects and best practices. Island Innovation is a social enterprise that works with private sector companies, governments, universities, NGOs and utilities to connect them with the island stakeholders vital to the success of their sustainability projects.

We have limited opportunities for sponsors of specific sessions or the event as a whole. If you are interested in sponsoring the event, contact us here, and we will be in touch.
