As a young person from the vibrant island nation of Trinidad and Tobago, I am thrilled to share my excitement about attending the upcoming Global Sustainable Islands Summit 2024, set to take place in the enchanting province of Prince Edward Island (PEI). This summit holds immense promise, not only in terms of professional development, but also in the opportunity it presents to explore and contribute to the crucial dialogue surrounding sustainability and green technology.

PEI’s commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2040 is commendable, and sets a remarkable precedent for islands worldwide. It’s inspiring to witness a place — Canada’s smallest province, nestled in the Maritime region — dedicated to propelling renewable energy and embracing green initiatives, aligning perfectly with my aspirations for a more sustainable future.

The summit’s venue, the renowned Rodd Crowbush Resort, promises to provide an ideal setting for meaningful discourse and collaboration. From state-of-the-art meeting facilities to tranquil oceanfront views, every aspect seems meticulously designed to foster productive discussions and moments of reflection alike.
