Value proposition
Supporting small #islands world-wide towards #sustainability #biodiversity #water #energytransition #wastemanagement
SMILO is an international NGO that aims to support islands of less than 150km2 towards a sustainable management of their territory and resources. Our integrated approach ensures that islands are more resilient to climate change, through our work on priority sectoral areas: waste management, energy, water and sanitation, biodiversity and ecosystems, landscapes and cultural heritage. Our program is built around a labelling process, which provides pragmatic and effective solutions for the benefit of local populations and international recognition for sustainable islands.
We support small islands in the Mediterranean, Western Africa and Indian Ocean in defining a sustainable vision for their territory and implementing sustainable practices. Our approach highlights the importance of building strategies based on concertation among local actors, as well as on capitalization through South-South and North-South cooperation.
We are also involved in advocacy operations to bring islands conservation to the international agenda (IUCN 2020, CBD Post-2020).

Energy – SMILO
Energy All concrete actions related to this theme are available HERE Many islands face a lack of conventional energies being locally available, and are forced to import and/or use fossil fuels from the continent. These solutions make them dependent, are often costly and generate a strong ecological footprint and greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to climate
