Description
Summary:Unsustainable governance has caused numerous challenges for some small islands, especially those where there is human activity. Addressing issues such as water security, environmental challenges, and unsustainable living are urgent concerns. Towards meeting the needs of effective management, National Research and Innovation Agency and Institute of Technology Indonesia jointly hosted the International Workshop on Small Island Research and Development on August 29–30, 2023 with sub-theme on ‘Improving Knowledge of Water Security and Sustainable Living for Local Communities.’ Representatives of government agencies, international organizations, academic institutions, and experts from a variety of countries attended the hybrid workshop. In addition to specific suggestions, the organizers recommended (1) establishing a regional network of experts on small island studies, and (2) attempting to promote sustainable development by giving governments policy briefings on crucial small island development written by island specialists.
