Let’s Connect!
Our Mission
The mission of Blue Planet Alliance is to get islands and countries around the world to legislatively mandate a commitment to 100% renewable energy by 2045. We work with governments, organizations, businesses, and individuals to help grow a global movement aimed at reducing the negative impact on the planet, thus aligning human behavior more in harmony with nature.

Blue Planet Alliance will host various events during the 2026 Climate Week in New York City, the largest annual climate event of its kind, bringing together over 900 events and activities across the city – in person, hybrid, and online. Each year, business leaders, political change makers, local decision takers, and civil society representatives of all ages and backgrounds, from all over the world, gather to drive the transition, speed up progress, and champion change that is already happening. Join us in a series of events to create partnerships towards ocean and climate action, promoting an inclusive and sustainable future for all. Join us for this invite-only event below.
The Climate Impact Talks, hosted by Blue Planet Alliance, will be held at Lavan Midtown New York, featuring experts from various sectors discussing the urgent challenges of climate change. Presentations will cover the latest research, innovative solutions, and actionable steps for a sustainable future, with contributions from UN partners, government representatives, private sector leaders, and youth advocates.
The event will conclude with a cocktail reception, with live musical performances and DJs, offering networking opportunities and further inspiration for collective climate action. The discussions will also emphasize the importance of cross-sector collaboration in addressing global climate challenges.
What We Do
Blue Planet Alliance (BPA) is working to end the use of carbon-based fuel.
If that sounds improbable, consider that our founder, Henk Rogers, led the movement that made Hawaii the first U.S. state to enact legislation mandating a transition to 100% renewable energy by 2045.
And now, through our flagship Fellowship Program, we’re bringing islands from all over the world to Hawaii, to share how we did it — and how other islands can do it, too.
We've brought 53 islands to date to Hawaii (and 19 of those 53 have pledged to go 100% by 2045 or sooner), and in just a few weeks, we’re bringing another nine. Our seventh cohort in October will see another 10 islands go through our Fellowship program.
Interested in applying to be a Fellow? We’re looking for participants who:
work for a power utility, or
work in the legislative or regulatory sector, or
lead a community program or initiative
Our Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Partnerships program brings together like-minded organizations all over the world, organizations that — like us — keep the future health of the planet at the forefront of their own work.
By signing a non-binding MOU, partners publicly commit to collaborating with us to advance environmental sustainability and accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels. These partnerships help amplify our collective impact and grow a global movement for a cleaner, more resilient future.
