Sub-National Voices Left Out
Island innovation calls for sub-sovereign and sub-national islands to have a greater voice among S.I.D.S. conversations.
While the voices of all 39 small island developing states were heard at the SIDS4 conference in Antigua and Barbuda, conversations about how policies can equally benefit sub-sovereign and sub-national states were left out. For instance, how does the Tobago House of Assembly access climate justice financing that is being made available to SIDS without politics getting in the way? Well, this is an issue that Island Innovation was trying to highlight, and it hopes that future SIDS conferences can consider paying more attention to these problems.
