This event brings together key players to explore and scale innovative solutions that strenghen the resilience and sustainability of small Mediterranean islands.
These islands are at the front lines of climate change, facing several threats like coastal erosion, rising sea levels, and extreme weather events. At the same time, their unique character and vulnerability make them ideal testing grounds for pioneering sustainability strategies. The Pilot Platform Initiative will showcase successful pilot projects, highlight community-driven approaches, and create opportunities for knowledge exchange and collaborationbetween local authorities, researchers, investors, and civil society.
By equippingMediterranean small island communities with the tools, knowledge and connections they need, this event aims to support islands’ transition to sustainability, demonstrating how resilience, cooperation, and shared expertise can drive the ecological transition for a healthier Mediterranean Sea basin.
