The Island Hub aims to provide a welcoming space for islanders and friends of islands to gather and meet informally. The space also aims to provide the opportunity to learn more about commitments promoted through the Global Islands Partnership (GLISPA), including the Caribbean Challenge Initiative, Micronesia Challenge and Western Indian Ocean Challenge as well as initiatives such as SIDSnet and the Islands Communications Toolkit. The Island Hub will also host the release of a new Caribbean Challenge video on 13 June.
