Quick Climate Links: Marshallese climate envoy, activist, poet, Kathy Jetn̄il-Kijiner shared the speakers' platform with Bill McKibben
from Climate Conversations · host Robert McLean
Kathy Jetñil-Kijiner (pictured) is a Marshallese climate activist and a poet convinced that words and art will help us deal with the climate crisis - she shared the stage with fellow climate activist and wordsmith, Bill McKibben in the final event in the 2022 Global Shifts Colloquium staged by Perry World House, "Islands on the Climate Front Line: Risk and Resilience." By coincidence, we feature a second story involving Bill McKibben, this one from the New Yorker in 1989 which was a piece about his then-new book, "The End of Nature". Other Quick Climate Links for today are: "NATURE BASED CLIMATE SOLUTIONS = INDIGENOUS LAND RIGHTS"; "Queensland plan to build cabins in beachside national park angers communities"; "Drive for net-zero fuels UK boom in retrofitting buildings for new use"; "EPA says it will emphasize environmental justice, community engagement to promote equity"; "Mallacoota energy group installs reliable, renewable power source in remote town"; "A new $2 coin features the introduced honeybee.
