Under the motto "Resilient islands, resilient Europe", the forum focused on the governance of the decarbonisation of EU islands and on aligning all stakeholders for a just energy transition. Firsthand testimonies from the transition teams of the 30for2030 islands provided key insights to empower the islands and their communities by aligning stakeholders’ views, priorities, and objectives. In doing so, the Forum demonstrated how building resilience at the island level strengthens Europe as a whole.
The three-year technical assistance provided to the 30for2030 islands, along with national-level regulatory reviews, has highlighted the complex governance of the energy transition on EU islands. The 2026 forum will emphasise experience-sharing among EU island communities and representatives from various levels of government and other stakeholders, highlighting achievements and identifying remaining gaps to ensure full decarbonisation.
