AI, Sustainability & Island Resilience: Consulting for Small Island Climate Leadership

In this episode of Before The Tipping Point: Where AI & Sustainability Meet Climate Leadership, we’re joined by Richard Page, CEO of Avancil Consulting and Island Innovation Ambassador.

Richard brings a multidisciplinary lens to sustainability, drawing on his experience as an educator, project manager, and scientist working at the intersection of environmental consulting and climate resilience.

Together, we explore how AI-driven solutions can be adapted to meet the unique environmental, infrastructural, and economic realities of small island communities. The conversation focuses on practical applications—not hype—covering:

• How AI can support sustainability efforts tailored specifically to small island contexts
• The role of AI in optimizing resource management and renewable energy adoption at an island scale
• How AI-enabled data analytics can strengthen consulting approaches for climate adaptation and resilience-building in vulnerable island economies

This episode offers grounded insights for sustainability professionals, consultants, policymakers, and innovators working to advance climate leadership where the stakes—and constraints—are highest.

🎧 Tune in to understand how AI can become a practical tool for island resilience, not just a theoretical one.
