The people of the Carteret Islands are about to make history. They will not be the first people to lose their homes because of global warming. Rising seas, expanding deserts and changing weather have already displaced many, possibly millions of people. But the people of the Carterets may be unique, as they begin to abandon their atoll, one of the first peoples in the world to do so.

amazing insight

Great to see voices of people actually on the ground responding to this issue as it directly affects them. Amazing (and sad) to see the real impacts on such a remote community.
