Islands as Laboratories for Sustainability (ISLAs)

Methodologically and scientifically, islands serve as lighthouses, illuminating the intricate interplay of environmental, social, and economic sustainability. Their island conditions, such as size, relative remoteness, and specific political contexts, make them key sites for examining how communities adapt to environmental and socio-economic transitions. During the summer school, participants will explore key topics around marine and land planning on islands, with a focus on socio-economic adaptations, environmental sustainability, and cultural resilience.
