Island nations refuse to give up as climate change worsens
Original: ‘We’re not giving up’: Beset by climate change, island nations act as conscience of a warming world
Small island nations, facing rising seas and intensifying storms, are pressing wealthier countries for stronger climate action, casting themselves as the moral voice of a warming world. Despite limited political and economic power, leaders say they will not give up their fight for survival and for emissions cuts that could keep their homelands habitable.
Why now: Ongoing international climate negotiations and worsening climate impacts on low-lying island states keep their calls for urgent action in the spotlight.
