Investing in Small Island Recovery:

Archipelagic Approaches to Sustainable Living

This island studies conference will explore public-, private-, and community-led strategies for overcoming small island challenges and will consider the respective merits of development initiatives focusing on individual villages, whole islands, or entire archipelagos.
