SYNOPSIS

In this podcast miniseries, host Lagipoiva Cherelle Jackson travels to Papua New Guinean islands where people are being forced to leave due to rising sea levels, and to the tiny nation of Tuvalu where people are fighting to remain. She speaks to islanders who have been forced to make devastating decisions due to a climate crisis not of their making.

This miniseries was part of The Guardian’s weekly podcast Full Story and broader reporting on climate change impact in the Pacific.
