Kate BROWN

With over 25 years dedicated to building partnerships that advance resilience and sustainability, I work across sectors and regions to create practical solutions for island communities facing environmental challenges. As Executive Director of the Global Island Partnership (GLISPA) and Co-Chair of the Local2030 Islands Network, I bring together governments, NGOs, and local communities to address climate adaptation, biodiversity protection, and sustainable development. My work spans the Pacific, Caribbean, and Indian Ocean, where I collaborate closely with local leaders to create positive, lasting change.

In addition to strategic leadership, I am committed to mentoring emerging professionals and strengthening networks that tackle critical sustainability issues. I believe in the power of partnerships to drive meaningful impact and am always keen to explore new ways to collaborate on solutions that resonate on both local and global scales.
