Newark, DE – The Island Policy Lab (IPL), University of Delaware, will participate in the 4th International Conference on Small Island Developing States (SIDS4), May 27–30, 2024 in St. John’s, Antigua and Barbuda.
Aligned with our mission for ‘Strategizing Island Futures at the Science-Policy-Diplomacy Interface’, the IPL is confirmed to speak on four panels under the following themes:
• African Islands States Climate Commission AIS High-Level Dialogue: Leveraging Partnerships for Climate Resilience – Organized by the UN Economic Commission for Africa
• Transforming SIDS Economies Energy Transition and Climate Action towards Prosperity, Resilience and Sustainable Development – Organized by IRENA SIDS Lighthouses Initiative
• Enhancing Higher Education for Sustainable Development in Small Island Developing States (SIDS) – Organized by UN Higher Education Sustainability Initiative (HESI)
• Blueprints for Prosperity: Building Resilience in SIDS through Blue Economy Innovation. (Virtual Session) – Organized by the UN Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR)
“With the support of many global and multilateral partners, the IPL is making a definitive mark on the sustainable development agenda by delivering on evidence and data-driven policy analysis to make sound decisions and find equitable solutions to island grand challenges. At SIDS4 we double down on this imperative for the next decade”, IPL Director Dr. Kalim Shah said.
The SIDS4 will be guided by the theme “Charting the course toward resilient prosperity” aiming to assess SIDS ability to achieve sustainable development, aligned with the 2030 Agenda and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It will result in a focused, forward-looking, and action-oriented political outcome document agreed upon by all SIDS governments.
