A new report from the United Nations found that the southwest Pacific region faced more extreme drought and rainfall than average last year and dozens of disasters, including two cyclones in Vanuatu. The report underscores long-held concerns about how climate change is drastically changing life for Indigenous peoples of the Pacific.
“The world has much to learn from the Pacific and the world must also step up to support your initiatives,” U.N. Secretary General António Guterres said in Nuku’alofa, Tonga, last week at the Pacific Island Forum. His address coincided with the release of the report.
