Climate Justice & the Pacific’s Fight for Survival | Alopi Latukefu | Power People and Planet

🔥 What can young leaders, indigenous wisdom, and the arts teach us about saving our future?In this episode of Power, People, Planet Podcast, Kumi Naidoo sits down with Alopi Latukefu — Director of The Global Centre for Social Justice and Advocacy Leadership — to talk about his remarkable journey from Papua New Guinea to global advocacy and to explore stories of resilience, leadership, and justice from the Pacific to the world. Together, they explore the Pacific’s leadership on climate justice—from law students in Vanuatu bringing the climate crisis before the International Court of Justice, to the region’s push for a Fossil Fuel Treaty that challenges global dependency on extraction. They highlight the urgent need to uplift indigenous knowledge, center cultural wisdom in climate solutions, and harness the power of art and music as tools for mobilization. The episode closes with the song “Don’t Mess It All Up” by Alope’s daughter Meena Siali, reminding us that protecting our planet is both a responsibility and a legacy.🔑Episode Highlights:How young Pacific law students brought the fight for climate justice to the International Court of JusticeWhy indigenous knowledge and wisdom are essential for humanity’s survivalThe Pacific’s leadership in pushing for a Fossil Fuel Treaty and the global transition away from extractionThe rising role of art and culture (“artivism”) in communicating the urgency of climate action👉 Watch, listen, and be inspired to act: the fight for climate justice needs all of us.🔗RESOURCESA Just(ER) Generation Podcast (Episode with Kumi)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYnGjL0xWvsAlopi Latukefu Linkein: Mina-Siale Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6cgRFKW05DZQz6XJPkLgSRSubcribe to Kumi Naidoo's Power People and Project for more updates and episodes! https://www.powerpeopleplanet.org/
