Our Pacific Island neighbours are on the front-line of climate change. Tidal surges and rising sea levels are destroying people’s homes, gardens and fresh water supplies. Fish stocks are diminishing around bleached coral reefs. Some Pacific Islanders have even relocated inland in an effort to escape the effects of climate change.
Last year Oxfam, together with award-winning photographer Rodney Dekker, travelled to the Pacific to collect stories from Tuvalu and Kiribati islanders on the challenges facing their communities. We also recorded the steps Pacific Islanders are taking to adapt to their changing environment, and asked them about what they thought their future might hold.
