Our vision
We envision resilient island societies where materials flow in regenerative cycles, communities thrive in dignity and equity, and governance systems anticipate and shape sustainable futures.
By bridging practice and policy, we work toward economies that leave no one – and nothing – behind.
Our mission
We activate circular and inclusive economies through local innovation, community empowerment, and systemic transformation.
By turning today’s challenges into opportunities, we reduce pollution, enable dignified livelihoods, and lay the foundation for regenerative island futures.
Core values
We strive to be dedicated, innovative, resilient, grateful, inclusive and focus on sustainable growth.
Our Goals
Systemic Agency for Small Island States
We strengthen the capacity of Small Island States to shape their own material, ecological, and social futures — not just adapt to them.
By bridging local action with global systems thinking, we build agency where it matters most: at the frontline of climate, economic, and ecological disruptions.
Co-Creating Anticipatory Governance
We help design governance systems that are proactive, participatory, and prepared for complexity.
Through policy advisory, fiscal innovation, and research, we co-develop tools and institutions that allow island communities to navigate uncertainty — and shape just, regenerative transitions.
Thriving Island Societies
We believe sustainability must serve life — not just reduce harm.
Our programs, partnerships, and pilots are grounded in the realities of island life, aiming to regenerate ecosystems, empower people, and create meaningful, dignified work for all.
Our contribution to the sustainable development of Curaçao
