Islands First

The stories are not few. From the Carteret Islands to Tuvalu, Kiribati across the seven seas, island nations are the canaries in the coal mine when it comes to climate change and the environmental degradation of our oceans. While any number of strange solutions may be proposed, islanders are being increasingly forced to contemplate the existential threat posed to their homes and livelihoods by rising sea levels.

As Islands First supports efforts to address this crisis at the United Nations, we appeal to all of you to share your stories. Send us your news and your concerns, what you see and what you hope not to see. We’ll voice those stories here as well as in the international forums at which they must be heard.
