In response to common challenges unique to small island developing states, and given the extraordinary opportunities within the region to preserve, leverage and integrate indigenous, natural, and human resource systems and to establish processes of collaborative governance, the member jurisdictions further solidified their commitments to the work of the Micronesia Chief Executives Summit.
The primary purpose of the summit is to coordinate and implement regional strategies to assist its member jurisdictions.
Among those initiatives are:
• The Micronesian Challenge;
• The Pacific Islands Regional Recycling Initiative Council;
• The Regional Invasive Species Council;
• The Regional Energy Committee: Green Energy Micronesia;
• The Regional Telecommunications Committee;
• The Regional Tourism Committee;
• The Regional Transportation Committee;
• The Regional Workforce Development Council;

• The Regional Health Committee; and,
• The Micronesian Center for a Sustainable Future, which serves as the secretariat to the summit.
Agenda for the 16th summit included updates from officials on the Micronesia Challenge, the work of the Regional Invasive Species Council, the Regional Tourism Council, the Regional Health Committee and from the designated representatives on the Micronesian Center for Sustainable Future.
