Islands are caught in a cruel paradox when it comes to tackling climate change: collectively, they emit less than one percent of global carbon emissions, yet they are disproportionately exposed and affected by the effects of the ongoing climate crisis.
Finance is among the utmost valuable assets in the global response to climate change. Without finance, islands are left with limited financial resources and capacities to build resiliency and protect against the escalating threats of the international climate crisis.
This week, our featured blog post explains the concept of Climate Finance and its importance to islands across the globe.
Founded over 30 years ago, the Islands and Small States Institute (ISSI) of the University of Malta offers a wide range of internationally distinguished island development focused courses. These are of significant benefit for individuals who are intent on helping to shape sustainable island communities of the future, especially those from Small Island Developing States (SIDS).
The Island Finance Forum will bridge the gap between sustainable development practitioners and financial stakeholders. The Forum will host six Content Tracks with sessions that will help you develop more in-depth knowledge about a specific topic and industry. By following specific Tracks you can join conversations and connect with the stakeholders that interest you most.
