The Net Zero Islands Network brings together actors from islands and remote areas working towards clean, resilient and carbon-neutral energy systems.
The network was established as part of a three-year project on Energy Solutions for Islands and Remote Areas initiated by the Nordic Council of Ministers in 2020.
Purpose
The network supports knowledge sharing and collaboration on the development and implementation of innovative energy solutions for islands and remote areas. It aims to strengthen clean and resilient energy supplies and to inspire progress towards carbon neutrality.
Activities
The Net Zero Islands Network meets twice a year to:
- Share knowledge and practical experience
- Discuss solutions, challenges and opportunities for collaboration
- Explore how to enhance clean and resilient energy systems
Meetings rotate between participating islands and remote areas. The host location showcases local renewable energy sites and initiatives.
In addition to the biannual meetings, joint projects are developed within and for the network to strengthen knowledge exchange on implemented and emerging energy solutions.
