Pacific Stream: Community Narratives of Climate Change
MAC D115 or online via Facebook
Hosted by Pacific People Partnership
Community Narratives of Climate Change is an interactive panel featuring the voices of South Pacific Islanders on the relationships between climate change, community displacement and Indigenous knowledge. With Pacific Islanders widely portrayed as the first climate refugees, our panelists will unpack the disconnect between community-based and global narratives of climate change, and how the climate refugee narrative interacts with Indigenous identities and histories of Pacific Islanders. The panel will be an educational and participatory experience, live broadcast as part of our Pacific Stream series to communities across the South Pacific. Audience members will have the opportunity to ask questions. Panelists include Selwyn Toa (Vanuatu), Eugene Lee (Borneo) and Mikaele Maiava (Samoa). We thank Kirk Schwartz from MediaNet for technical support.
