Inter-Island Environment Meetings

The first Inter-Island Environment Meetings (or IIEM) took place on Guernsey in the Channel Islands 25 years ago. IIEM aims to bring together government bodies, NGOs, environmental managers and individuals from the Crown Dependencies, and beyond, to discuss the status of the environment and help plan for the future. Many successful conservation projects have resulted from discussions at IIEMs.

The 2025 meeting will take place on the Isle of Man, hosted by the Manx Wildlife Trust.
