What has Climate Change got to do with Human Rights in Solomon Islands - with Raywin Taroaniara (Youth Policy Maker and Environmentalist)

Episode Summary

In this episode, Raywin and I talk about climate change impacts in The Solomon Islands and the Pacific. We discuss how climate change is a human rights and education issue and what Raywin is doing to advocate for changes in the Pacific and across the globe. We talk about the need to educate children about climate change and move away from ‘normalising’ the impacts of climate change. We discuss how sea-level rise, coastal erosion, and cyclones have led to the migration of many Islanders to other parts of the Island and how Raywin's beautiful family island has been affected by climate change. We also talk faith and community resilience! This episode gives an insight into the Pacific, we hope you will love it!
