An island-led movement for sustainability
Guam Green Growth is a public-private partnership that develops tangible solutions to sustainability challenges and contributes to a green economy for the island region. In September 2019, Governor Lourdes A. Leon Guerrero and Lt. Governor Joshua F. Tenorio promulgated Executive Order 2019-23, creating an 80-member Working Group of government, academia, private sector, non-profit, and youth partners to transition Guam toward a sustainable future. The executive order assigned the facilitation of the Working Group to the University of Guam Center for Island Sustainability.
A Closer Look: G3CC Island Beautification Tour - Tamuning
True leadership isn’t defined by the strategies we write on paper; it is proven by the work we are willing to do when our community needs us most.
Looking at these moments from our recent Guam Green Growth Conservation Corps Village Beautification, we are reminded that sustainable progress requires a profound willingness to get our hands dirty. True resilience isn’t passive. It’s an active, daily choice to show up, clear the debris, and build back stronger.
G3CC in Action
G3CC x Biosecurity
From the lab to the hives and our ports of entry, the Guam Green Growth Conservation Corps has been hard at work learning what it takes to defend our island’s ecosystem from invasive species and biosecurity threats. 🌿🐝
Here’s a look at what the team got into:
First Line of Defense: Learning from the best at Guam Customs and the Detector Dog Unit about how dangerous agricultural products and biosecurity risks are intercepted at our borders. 🐾🛄
Microscopic Precision: Diving deep into specimen identification to catch invasive threats early. 🔬
Sweet (and Safe) Sustainability: Suiting up for local apiculture! The corps got hands-on experience with honeybee hive maintenance, learning how to safely manage and protect our essential pollinators. 🍯🐝
Biosecurity is a team effort, and equipping our local conservation leaders with these skills ensures a more resilient, sustainable future for Guam.
Huge thanks to all our partners who shared their expertise with the corps this week! 🙌🏽
