Many islands are dependent upon tourism as a key driver of economic activity. With the global tourism economy now severely disrupted due to COVID-19 - and with no end in sight -islands face a looming economic crisis.

The Local2030 Islands Network is hosting a virtual convening to address the urgency of this crisis as part of a webinar series focused on COVID-19 response with early themes identified by islanders. The series is supported through a shared islands platform launched by the Local2030 Islands Network, coordinated by the Global Island Partnership and Hawai‘i Green Growth Local2030 Hub, with various partners including UN Foundation, Pacific Island Development Program, the Small Islands Organisation (SMILO), Green Cross France and Territories, Commonwealth Secretariat, Sustainable Travel International, University of Guam, and others, to connect islands and draw strength from shared solutions.

This session will explore how islands are responding to the current crisis and opportunities to rebuild a more resilient and sustainable tourism economy. Join us for the session Thursday, 23 April 06.00 PM UTC / 08.00 AM Hawaiʻi / 02.00 PM Curaçao / 10.00 PM Seychelles Time.
