The Global Island Partnership (GIP) unites governments and NGOs to address island challenges, enhancing leadership, mobilizing resources, and promoting sustainable development. Highlighting the necessity for collaboration, the GIP aims to close implementation gaps while fostering regional and global networks. It operates without a formal structure, focusing on shared goals rather than strategic plans, allowing partners to engage at their discretion. Future efforts include high-level conferences and specific commitments from island nations to advance biodiversity conservation and sustainable livelihoods.
