Join BlueMissionMed at Capraia Smart Island 2025 – the event will host the Pilot Platform for Sustainable Mediterranean Small Island Communities!

A joint initiative of BlueMissionMed, SMILO and Chimica Verde Bionet

Where: Capraia island, Italy
When: 20-22 May 2025

In the context of the EU Mission “Restore our Ocean and Waters by 2030”, Capraia Smart Island 2025 will host the Pilot Platform for Sustainable Mediterranean Small Island Communities, a joint initiative by Chimica Verde Bionet, SMILO, and BlueMissionMed. This event brings together key players to explore and scale innovative solutions that strenghen the resilience and sustainability of small Mediterranean islands.

These islands are at the front lines of climate change,facing several threats like coastal erosion, rising sea levels, and extreme weather events. At the same time, their unique character and vulnerability make them ideal testing grounds for pioneering sustainability strategies. The Pilot Platform Initiative will showcase successful pilot projects, highlight community-driven approaches, and create opportunities for knowledge exchange and collaboration between local authorities, researchers, investors, and civil society.

By equipping Mediterranean small island communities with the tools, knowledge and connections they need, this event aims to support islands’ transition to sustainability, demonstrating how resilience, cooperation, and shared expertise can drive the ecological transition for a healthier Mediterranean Sea basin.
