SUMMARY:4th International Conference on SIDS
DESCRIPTION:Opportunity abounds amidst the converging crises facing Small Island Developing States (SIDS)—from the impacts of climate change to the economic fallout of COVID-19 and looming debt challenges. Despite the adversity\, these islands are poised at a critical juncture where bold actions can catalyze positive change. \nThe pandemic’s blow to tourism\, a cornerstone of many island economies\, has laid bare vulnerabilities\, leaving fiscal deficits and stalling progress towards Sustainable Development Goals. Concurrently\, the escalating frequency of climate-related catastrophes accentuates the urgent need for action\, with SIDS disproportionately bearing the brunt despite their minimal contribution to global emissions. \nHowever\, within this crucible of challenges lies the chance for collective action and innovation. In May 2024\, Antigua and Barbuda will host a pivotal gathering of the international community. Here\, stakeholders will convene to not only assess SIDS’ sustainable development strides but also chart a visionary course for the coming decade. It’s a moment ripe for forging robust partnerships and unveiling solutions to propel these islands toward resilient prosperity. \nAmidst this event\, the Caribbean Climate-Smart Accelerator (CCSA) will co-host a significant side event. At this gathering\, the much-anticipated Climate Smart Map will be launched\, symbolizing a crucial step forward in equipping SIDS with innovative tools to navigate the challenges ahead.

SUMMARY:Chief Executive Officers and Leadership Conference 2023
DESCRIPTION:This year’s CEOs‘ and Leadership Conference will be held under the theme\, ‘360-degree Leadership: Balancing the Load’. \nCARILEC has chosen this theme\, recognizing that leaders within the energy industry need to adopt this leadership style now\, more than ever. 360-degree leadership is an essential strategy for leaders if they are to successfully navigate the ever-changing and versatile energy sector\, particularly with the shift to sustainable and renewable energy sources. \nThe theme refers to the need for inclusive leadership\, creating a holistic vision and shared responsibility for power sector modernization and energy transitioning. It does not only refer to internal leading (e.g.\, of employees and self)\, but also externally by building ownership of customers/prosumers\, government policy makers\, regulators\, IPPs and other business partners (360). \nLeading a green energy network in the Caribbean requires strategic partnerships. The Caribbean Climate-Smart Accelerator\, CCSA recognizes this and encourages collaboration among countries and organizations to learn from each other’s strengths and progress\, forming a strong network along the Caribbean climate-smart zone.

SUMMARY:Climate Conference: Aruba
DESCRIPTION:The Netherlands and Aruba are organising a climate conference on Aruba \nSmall islands\, like those in the Caribbean Netherlands\, are particularly vulnerable to climate change and are already experiencing its negative effects. The Netherlands and Aruba want to encourage cooperation on climate action between small islands world-wide. From the 10th to the 12th of May they will be organising the first Caribbean Climate & Energy Conference (CCEC) on Aruba. \nThe Netherlands and Aruba want to make the islands in the Caribbean a model for tackling climate action in small island states. Upon invitation of the Prime Minister of Aruba\, Evelyn Wever-Croes\, and the Minister for Climate and Energy Policy\, Rob Jetten\, representatives from countries and organisations will meet on Aruba. It regards representatives coming from islands in the Caribbean region itself\, but also from relevant parties elsewhere\, such as island states in the Pacific Ocean\, UN organisations\, knowledge and financial institutions. \nThe first day of the conference will be devoted to the climate and energy transition within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The Caribbean islands in the Kingdom will discuss what kind of corporation is needed in order to achieve the climate goals laid down in the Paris Agreement. Day two of the conference will have an international focus\, during which a broad panel of countries and organisations will discuss the climate action that is needed for islands worldwide. On the third day the participants will visit energy-related projects on Aruba and they will meet young people to discuss the climate and energy transition on the island. \nDuring the climate summit in Sharm-el-Sheikh (COP27) the Netherlands committed to accelerating the climate and energy transition on small island states like those in the Caribbean part of the Kingdom. To this end the Netherlands is participating in initiatives such as the Local2030 Islands Network and the SIDS Lighthouse Initiative. The government wants the Caribbean Climate & Energy Conference on Aruba to be a continuation of this work. \nREAD MORE

SUMMARY:UN 2023 Water Conference
DESCRIPTION:Water is a fundamental part of all aspects of life. Water is inextricably linked to the three pillars of sustainable development\, and it integrates social\, cultural\, economic and political values. It is crosscutting and supports the achievement of many SDGs through close linkages with climate\, energy\, cities\, the environment\, food security\, poverty\, gender equality and health\, amongst others. With climate change profoundly affecting our economies\, societies and environment\, water is indeed the biggest deal breaker to achieve the internationally agreed water-related goals and targets\, including those contained in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Read the vision statement of the Water Conference.

SUMMARY:UN Biodiversity Conference (COP 15)
DESCRIPTION:Despite on-going efforts\, biodiversity is deteriorating worldwide and this decline is projected to worsen with business-as-usual scenarios. The UN Biodiversity Conference will convene governments from around the world to agree to a new set of goals for nature over the next decade through the Convention on Biological Diversity post-2020 framework process. The framework sets out an ambitious plan to implement broad-based action to bring about a transformation in society’s relationship with biodiversity and to ensure that\, by 2050\, the shared vision of living in harmony with nature is fulfilled. \nThe Conference will also look at the implementation of the protocols of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) that deal with the fair and equitable sharing of benefits from the use of nature\, and the safe transport\, handling and labelling of Living Modified Organisms. \nThe first part of COP-15 included the opening of the Meetings and addressed agenda items that were identified as essential for the continuation of the operations of the Convention and the Protocols by the Bureau. This included meetings about administrative matters and technical issues related to CBD programmes. \nThere was also a high-level segment on 12 and 13 October 2021. Participants focused on the development of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework. \nAll sessions at COP-15 will be streamed live at cbd.int/live and the main schedule is also available. \nInformation on Media Accreditation \n \nFollow the latest details about COP-15 using the hashtag #COP15 on social media.

SUMMARY:Devex @ COP 27
DESCRIPTION:On November 10\, Devex will host a series of provocative conversations on global development and climate change on the sidelines of the COP 27 negotiations in person in Sharm El-Sheik. This won’t be your standard COP event. Step outside of the blue zone as we spotlight how low- and middle-income countries are included — or not — in these critical conversations while being the most impacted. We’ll dig into cross-cutting issues such as health\, food systems\, migration\, and finance\, and how climate intersects with every facet of achieving the sustainable development goals.
