Since its launch in 2006 the Global Island Partnership has:

Inspired Leadership for Conservation & Sustainability

• Helped inspire, recognize and support leaders in Micronesia, the Caribbean, Indonesia and the Western Indian Ocean to work with their neighbors on visionary regional island initiatives (‘Challenges’) for conservation and sustainability
• Assisted island leaders to advocate for ecosystem-based adaptation to be recognized internationally, in particular under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change

Catalyzed Commitments to Large-Scale Action and Funding

• Assisted more than 30 countries to launch or strengthen major island commitments focused on island conservation and sustainable management of marine, coastal and/or terrestrial habitats
• Helped catalyze more than US$ 125 million in commitments for island actions

Facilitated Collaboration to support Island Priorities

• Enhanced collaboration among political leaders, key government ministries and agencies, and non-governmental partners working on shared commitments through high level and strategic events at key global and regional meetings
• Recognized and promoted each island commitment as a beacon of inspiration and guidance to others
