The ISLANDS Communications Strategy, by providing guidance on targeted and unified communications across the Programme, seeks to raise awareness of the dangers of pollutants in SIDS, the scale of the problem and the actions that can be taken at all levels of society to manage these issues. The strategy reflects ISLANDS’ approach of preventing further build- up of chemicals entering SIDS, managing products entering SIDS, and safely disposing of and recycling existing chemicals and products in SIDS.
Tailored communication and knowledge products and community engagement activities will be developed and targeted to specific stakeholder groups to inform and facilitate meaningful action, while all pertinent information gathered will be collated and shared across global communities of practice hosted on the Green Forum, an online interactive community space – managed by the Green Growth Knowledge Partnership (GGKP) – for professionals to share and discuss insights in the pursuit of a sustainable economic transition.
Annual regional communication plans will be developed by each regional project to map the most relevant pathways in each country for informing and gathering information related to harmful pollutants, promoting changes in behaviour and practice, and targeting stakeholder groups with appropriate “need-to-know” products on key issues.
