The island of La Palma hosted the
First Island Conference on Innovation and Sustainable Development.
The aim was to analyse new forms of cooperation before the new island challenges.

2003
La Palma - Canary Islands

The initiative started from a large group of islands, among which those belonging to the UNESCO-MaB’s international network of Biosphere Reserves stand out; the initiative also relied on the support of several organisations such as the UNESCO itself, INSULA, European Commission, World Tourism Organisation, Biodiversity Foundation and Spanish Ministry of Environment.

The main Conference agreement was to establish the necessary measures for the constitution of an island network able to drive a Forum in favour of Innovation for Sustainable Development. This Forum would be able to support innovative actions of cooperation and transfer in island regions.
