Marshall Islands pleads with world leaders to stop the 60,000-person nation from drowning

from The Washington Post

Rising sea levels pose “an existential threat” to the islands, a recent World Bank study said.

“I don’t think it should be acceptable to any person in this world to write off a country . . . .Those who are the larger wealthier nations who have really created the problem in the first place, unfortunately, have the resources to respond and we do not”

Tina Stege (climate envoy for the Marshall Islands)
