Greening the Islands Conference & Awards 2025 – A Decade of Island Innovation

Over the years, this international conference has become a unique cross-sectoral platform covering energy, water, food, mobility, waste, tourism, and beyond. The 2025 edition will go beyond celebration—it will be a call to action for island territories and their partners to co-create resilient and sustainable strategies.
