The United Nations emphasizes that we are in a critical 10-year window to act on the most significant global sustainability challenges before 2030. With the backdrop of COVID-19 affecting economies, food systems, and the survival of our most vulnerable, Guam Green Growth is an engine of solutions and innovation to help Guam build back better, fairer, and more resilient.

In recognition of steps Guam has taken to advance sustainable action, and through partnerships developed through the Office of the Governor of Guam, the University of Guam Center for Island Sustainability (CIS), Global Island Partnership (GLISPA), and the Hawaii Green Growth Local2030 Islands Hub, Guam was invited to join an international community of island leaders at Climate Week NYC during the 74th United Nations General Assembly in 2019 as a founding member of the Local2030 Islands Network to advance local and global Sustainable Development Goals.10
