We are at a moment of environmental
and cultural reckoning.

The Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) embodies the dialectic of this reckoning. But more than that, our grouping proudly reflects the agency of a people and the epitome of resilience.

This event, commemorating the 30th Anniversary of AOSIS, aims to celebrate SIDS, our culture, our people, and our contribution to advancing a global agenda that looks to a regenerative and synergistic development for planet and for people.

Featuring

• “On our Islands” a spoken word celebration of SIDS!
• An AOSIS Retrospective
• Keynote Address by Hon. Mia Mottley, Prime Minister of Barbados
• The Latest Climate Science and Implications for SIDS by Dr. Adele Thomas
• NDC Announcements from Nauru, St. Lucia and the Maldives
• 18 year old Samoan Youth Climate activist, Okalani Mariner
• Indigenous perspectives from Clement Yow Mulalap
