08: Our Climate Commitments and the World's Island States
from Deceleration Podcast · host Marisol Cortez & Greg Harman
Send us Fan MailA conversation with Ursula Rakova of Tulele Peisa, a nonprofit formed by the elders of the Carteret Islands to direct the relocation of their communities from their low-lying island chain to the “big island” of Bougainville in Papau New Guinea. While the Paris framework considered 1.5 Celsius an aspirational target, increasingly cities are declaring 1.5 their goal right out of the gate, as has San Antonio. This movement from 'less-than-two' to 1.5 or less is hardly incidental but rather life or death for many of the world's low-lying island states, representatives of which pushed back hard on the 2-degree Paris proposal, insisting they needed “1.5 to stay alive.”Support the showDeceleration.news: 'For the Earth.
