  • 7 - A Case for Climate Justice

    SIDS have historically contributed the least to this problem but are on the frontlines of its worst impacts. Emissions have no borders. Who will pay for impacts beyond our adaptive capacity? Can large emitter countries or companies be held legally liable? What does restorative justice actually look like and how do we pursue it? Over 10 years ago, it was agreed that developed economies would mobilize $100 billion per year in climate finance, by 2020, for both adaptation and mitigation. This commitment is yet to be met.

  • 6 - Adapt to Survive

    Even if we do achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement, island life will never be the same again. What are the ways the SIDS will have to adapt and build resilience for this future and who is leading the way?This episode will discuss the critical SIDS sectors that most require adaptation interventions and how it may be financed. It will further discuss not only the new technologies that we must incorporate, but also the bringing back of indigenous, more sustainable practices, and how they might be valuable for a modern world.
