Co-hosted with the Cabildo de Gran Canaria, the Global Sustainable Islands Summit is the premier international forum for addressing sustainable development in island communities. In May 2024, the Summit was successfully hosted in Prince Edward Island, Canada. In 2025 the event was hosted by St. Kitts & Nevis and brought the focus to the Caribbean. Now, it will be held in Gran Canaria, a strategic hub for sustainability in Europe, the Canary Islands, and the wider Macaronesia region.
The 2026 Global Sustainable Islands Summit provides a platform for high-level dialogue, knowledge exchange, and practical collaboration among leaders, policymakers, sustainability experts, and global stakeholders.
The Ecoislas Agenda is Gran Canaria’s main sustainability framework, guiding its transition toward a resilient, climate-neutral, and inclusive development model. It brings together key areas such as climate action, energy, water and food sovereignty, biodiversity, circular economy, and sustainable tourism under a unified territorial strategy aligned with European goals. By integrating policy, innovation, and community engagement, Gran Canaria positions itself as a living laboratory for island sustainability. This vision strongly complements the aims of the Global Sustainable Islands Summit (GSIS) and highlights Gran Canaria’s leadership in sharing scalable, real-world solutions with islands globally.
