Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I attend the Island Pavilion @ COP27?
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!
COP27 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.
How much does the Island Pavilion @ COP27 cost? Do I need anything to participate?
The island pavilion is totally free!! You can sign up here, and all you need to take part is an internet connection and the Zoom webinar software.
How do I participate?
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.
Will the Island Pavilion be recorded?
The island pavilion will be broadcast LIVE, taking place over multiple days in various time zones.

However, all sessions (excluding the networking sessions) will be recorded and made available online a few weeks after the event.
