Pacific Islands Students Fighting Climate Change

“The washing away of any inch of the precious coastline hurts the very vein of our existence.” For Pacific communities, climate change is lived—graves, homes, histories at risk with every cyclone and king tide. States must act now. Endorse the UNGA resolution. #ClimateICJAO
