"A collection of vulnerable states—from Fiji to the Marshall Islands, the Maldives to the Bahamas—has launched an international campaign. It has been, against all odds, a remarkable success."
Through @HACoalition and others, the fight continues in 2019! time.com/longform/sinking-is…

OPINION: Young people's activism in response to the climate emergency has inspired many of us. But we can’t put the fate of the world on their shoulders just yet. Today’s leaders need to pull their weight first.

Young Timoci Naulusala is a voice for young people on the frontlines of #climatechange
His village was ripped to pieces in #CycloneWinston. Now, he's demanding the world act to spare other youth the same suffering he endured.
We can secure his future. But only if we act now!

What if the house you grew up in disappeared because of the #ClimateCrisis? A new report from #IPCC ️shows that this is the reality for millions of people living in our coastal and low-lying areas.

UNSG @antonioguterres I know you share our disappointment many countries left your call for greater ambition unanswered. But I remain grateful for your personal commitment to address the #ClimateCrisis
We’re never out of the fight. We can —we must — rally the world to action.

Talk is cheap and action is priceless, especially for small islands at the forefront of #climatechange. Genevieve Jiva comes from such an island and was at the @UN #ClimateActionSummit. She encourages everyone to raise their voice for #ClimateAction📣

Jason Momoa is putting his passion for the Pacific and his tremendous platform to use to fight for the interests of all island people. To that I say: Vinaka.
I can’t think of a better ally than aquaman 🔱 to secure a sustainable future for small states! #UNGA #SIDS #TeamFiji

This week’s IPCC report makes it clear: Pollution, ocean acidification, loss of coral are threatening the ocean more and more. This hurts small islands the most. - @antonioguterres #SamoaPathway #UNGA

Our sustainable development progress will mean nothing if we don’t address the climate challenge. To do that, we need to work on building resilience and debt sustainability, says @FijiPM Bainimarama. #SamoaPathway #UNGA
