Island Innovation was the official Programme Partner for the Island of Hope’s stage, which took place live in Dubai between the 4th and 8th of December, 2023.
We hosted a 5-day action-packed programme that brought together key actors from Small Island States, Sub-National Island Jurisdictions, climate-vulnerable regions, donors, investors, and the private sector. This immersive event space served as a catalyst to accelerate climate adaptation and resilience through capacity building, problem-solving, and matchmaking, ultimately providing a dedicated space for islands at COP28.
Curated by Island Innovation, the event welcomed over 150 expert speakers who shared inspirational stories, transferable solutions, capacity-building strategies, and best practices. We invited all stakeholders from governments, NGOs, academia, businesses, media, and finance to join this free-to-attend conference.
- Catalyze climate action and stronger partnerships for islands
