|
The
Commission on Islands is a group approved by
the IGU Executive Committee at the IGU Brisbane Conference in
July, 2006. Geographers from around the world engaged in intense
discussions on island-related issues, especially how geography
could contribute to the management nd development of islands in
accordance with the 1994 Barbados Action Plan, UNESCO, and other
inter-governmental organisations and programmes.
The
main missions of the Commission are
-
to
promote island studies in geographical sciences among
international geographical research communities
-
to
provide a platform in connecting island studies with
existing international programs and island
networks
-
to promote the study of island geography in education programs at all
levels, especially, but not exclusively, in island societies
-
to support and promote the publication of island geographic research
-
to collaborate with international and regional organizations to enhance
dialogue on sustainable development of island societies.
