What is AIS Forum?
Archipelagic and Island State Forum is made to build cooperation between archipelagic and island states globally to overcome the effects of climate change, currently with 47 participating countries including Fiji, Kiribati, Japan and more.
The forum was established in 2017by the Indonesian Government through the Ministry of Maritime Affairs with country partners.
