On August 8, the Global Island Partnership (GLISPA) and The Panorama Initiative of IUCN and the GIZ hosted a webinar on island solutions. The Panorama Initiative recognizes inspiring success stories of conservation and sustainability. The Initiative is building a searchable database of case studies (solutionsexplorer.org), which will be launched at the World Conservation Congress in September. Each of the four presenters in this webinar focused on the key elements – “building blocks” that make a solution successful.

IUCN’s Island Initiative Programme invites you to the Islands Journeyat the 2016 IUCN World Conservation Congress. The Islands Journey which was initiated at the World Conservation Congress in 2008, seeks to celebrate islands’ achievements; promote their actions, innovation and leadership and inspire, strengthen and mobilize new partnerships and initiatives.
