Yesterday I interviewed live on our social media channels the CEO of the Caribbean Biodiversity Fund, Yabanex Batista, to discuss the upcoming Caribbean Conservation Finance Congress 2021, for which Island Innovation is providing our virtual event management services.
The Congress will focus on building and showcasing Caribbean sustainable financing solutions for conservation and sustainable development, exchanging experiences among Caribbean actors, and learning from other regions and global initiatives.
We invite you to watch the interview and find out why you should attend this event! While you are here, don’t forget to also register for September’s Virtual Island Summit which will bring together 10,000 islanders to talk sustainable development.
