Interview with Tulele Peisa: PNG Carterets reaction to growing Pacific islands report
On June 15 2010 Ursula Rakova, Executive Director of IWDA partner Tulele Peisa, spoke to Pearson Vetuna on Pacific Beat, Radio Australia, about a recent New Scientist report which claims that island atolls are in fact more resilient to rising sea levels.
Understandably, Ursula is concerned that this report – which only deals with some 27 islands – will make international donors less supportive of initiatives to relocate communities from island atolls.
Listen to Ursula’s interview on Radio Australia below.
