Jersey is hosting the inter

This week, Jersey is hosting the 2024 installment of the annual Inter-Island Environment Meeting (IIEM), where experts from the crown dependencies and the UK will gather to discuss environmental protection strategies. The event will take place on Thursday and Friday at the Société Jersiaise and Jersey Museum in St Helier. Attendees include representatives from the Guernsey Nature Commission, Alderney Wildlife Trust, and Manx Wildlife Trust, among others. The focus of this year's discussions will be on the role of government and organizations in conservation efforts. Speakers will address the importance of integrating environmental strategies into daily decision-making processes of organizations, ensuring that these strategies are not overlooked by stakeholders. Organizers aim to explore methods to prevent environmental guidance from being ignored, emphasizing the need for these strategies to become part of the public's expectations of how organizations operate. This approach is crucial for fostering a culture of environmental responsibility. The event is supported by various partners, including the Government of Jersey, Société Jersiaise, National Trust for Jersey, and Jersey Biodiversity Centre, and is sponsored by Jersey Seafaris. The outcomes of the IIEM are expected to influence future conservation policies and practices across the islands, promoting a collaborative effort to enhance the natural environment.
