From May 20, 2025, to May 22, 2025
A joint initiative by BlueMissionMed, SMILO, and Chimica Verde Bionet
Where: Capraia Island, Italy
When: May 20-22, 2025
As part of the EU mission “Restore our oceans and waters by 2030,” Capraia Smart Island 2025 will host the Pilot Platform for Sustainable Mediterranean Small Island Communities, a joint initiative of Chimica Verde Bionet, SMILO, and BlueMissionMed. This event brings together key stakeholders to explore and scale innovative solutions that enhance the resilience and sustainability of small Mediterranean islands.
These islands are on the front line of climate change, facing multiple threats such as coastal erosion, rising sea levels, and extreme weather events. At the same time, their unique character and vulnerability make them ideal testing grounds for pioneering sustainability strategies. The pilot platform initiative will showcase successful pilot projects, highlight community-driven approaches, and create opportunities for knowledge exchange and collaboration among local authorities, researchers, investors, and civil society.
By providing small Mediterranean island communities with the tools, knowledge, and connections they need, this event aims to support the islands’ transition to sustainability, demonstrating how resilience, cooperation, and knowledge-sharing can lead the ecological transition for a healthier Mediterranean Sea basin.
