During this pandemic period, islands are living an even more difficult situation, both economically and socially, than the rest of the world, risking a greater isolation and being forgotten.
To address actual situation & requests from islands, Greening the Islands is organizing a webinar on 26th May which will provide an outlook on how islands’ economy is responding to the situation and what could be the possible scenarios for EU plans for the recovery after crisis.
Moreover, the webinar will give voice to the island companies, debate on how to mitigate the impact of COVID-19, understand new possible scenarios after this emergency and support the recovery plans, ensuring an efficient, resilient and sustainable restart.
