BLUE PLANET ALLIANCE

AT global sustainable island summit 2026

OUR MISSION

The mission of Blue Planet Alliance is to build a thriving, resilient world by empowering islands, states, and countries to transition to 100% renewable energy by 2045—for people, nature, and our future. 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.

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 they can do it, too.

We've brought 45 islands to date to Hawaii (and 14 of those 37 have pledged to go 100% by 2045 or sooner). Our sixth cohort in May 2026 will see another 8 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.
