On November 4 and 5, 2026, the Public Entity of Bonaire will participate in the 2026 Built Environment Climate Summit. During this event, government agencies, research institutions, and professionals will come together to exchange knowledge and experiences on topics such as sustainable construction, climate adaptation, nature-inclusive development, and a future-proof living environment.

Through this participation, Bonaire aims to gain insights into innovative developments and best practices in the field of nature-inclusive and sustainable construction. The insights gained can contribute to the further development of policies and projects aimed at a sustainable and climate-resilient design of the island.
In addition, the climate summit offers the opportunity to establish contacts and collaborate with organizations and experts within the Kingdom who are addressing similar spatial and social challenges.
By participating, the Public Entity of Bonaire emphasizes the importance of sustainable and responsible construction. Bonaire aims to encourage local construction companies, developers, and other stakeholders to pay increasing attention to sustainability, climate resilience, and the preservation of natural values in new developments.
The Public Entity of Bonaire views nature-inclusive and sustainable construction as a key prerequisite for a future-proof Bonaire. Participation in the 2026 Built Environment Climate Summit offers a valuable opportunity to gain new knowledge and translate it into practical applications on the island, in collaboration with local construction companies, developers, and other partners. In this way, we can work toward a built environment that not only addresses the challenges of climate change but also contributes to the quality of life, biodiversity, and sustainable development of Bonaire.
