[Episode contains explicit language - but not too much!]In this episode, KG and Paul kick off the year with an inspiring conversation featuring Dr. Jason Graham-Nye, an entrepreneur tackling global environmental challenges through the circular economy. Jason shares how his team is addressing the massive problem of disposable nappy waste in the South Pacific, where nappies make up 30% of household waste and where both, eco-systems and economies are fragile and at risk of collapse.Their model eliminates plastic waste, creates compost to regenerate soil, and provides jobs for local women. With projects in Samoa, Tuvalu, and soon Belize, Jason's work empowers communities while addressing marine pollution and soil degradation.The discussion dives into systemic barriers like greenwashing, the need for consistent policy support, and the challenges of collaboration in a competitive world. Jason reflects on his own leadership approach, emphasising the importance of empowering communities and building sustainable systems.As usual, we share a most delicious wine. On this occasion we are loving the 2023 Sigurd White Blend. A tasty, summery wine that is beautifully balanced with bright and soft, apple-like acidity. It has a long and fresh finish. Don't wait, go get yourself some!!We hope you will be inspired by Jason's story, his innovative approach to solving wicked problems, and his insights on leadership and sustainability.Sláinte friends!Some useful resources from this episode:1.

Tuvalu, the fourth smallest nation in the world, announced its intention to become the world's first digital country back in 2022. But why, and how? 图瓦卢是世界上第四小的国家,早在 2022 年就宣布打算成为世界上第一个数字国家。但是为什么以及如何实现呢? Facing the devastating effects of rising sea levels caused by climate change, the nation, made up of three reef islands and six atolls, is rapidly becoming uninhabitable. Tuvalu sits between Hawaii and Australia and is grappling with increasingly dire conditions. In 2022, at high tide, nearly 40% of the capital became submerged, according to the news agency Reuters. A recent assessment by scientists at NASA indicated that "much of the land plus critical infrastructure will sit below the level of the current high tide by 2050". And projections suggest the entire country could be underwater by the year 2100. Global warming has already displaced many of Tuvalu's 11,000 inhabitants, while coral bleaching and coastal erosion continue to degrade the surrounding environment. 面对气候变化造成的海平面上升的破坏性影响,这个由三个礁岛和六个环礁组成的国家正在迅速变得不适合居住。图瓦卢位于夏威夷和澳大利亚之间,正在努力应对日益严峻的形势。据路透社报道,2022 年涨潮时,近 40% 的首都被淹没。美国宇航局科学家最近的一项评估表明,“到 2050 年,大部分土地加上关键基础设施将低于当前高潮水位”。预测显示,到 2100 年,整个国家可能会被淹没。全球变暖已经使图瓦卢 11,000 名居民中的许多人流离失所,而珊瑚白化和海岸侵蚀继续使周围环境恶化。 This is why the government plans to back up the country and rebuild a virtual online replica. The announcement was first made at the UN Climate Change Conference, COP27 by Tuvalu's Minister of Justice, Simon Kofe. He said, "As our land slips below the ocean, we have no choice but to become the world's first digital nation. Our land, our ocean, our culture are the most precious assets of our people". 这就是政府计划支持国家并重建虚拟在线副本的原因。图瓦卢司法部长西蒙·科菲 (Simon Kofe) 在联合国气候变化大会 COP27 上首次宣布了这一消息。他说:“当我们的土地沉入海洋时,我们别无选择,只能成为世界上第一个数字国家。我们的土地、我们的海洋、我们的文化是我们人民最宝贵的资产”。 The country has since been preserving Tuvalu's cultural and historical identity by recording historical documents, maps, family photograph albums, traditional songs, and other cultural practices, all of which will be accessible online. In early 2024, Place, a global non-profit organisation, began mapping the physical features of Funafuti, Tuvalu's capital, using drones and 360-degree cameras. 此后,该国一直通过记录历史文献、地图、家庭相册、传统歌曲和其他文化习俗来保护图瓦卢的文化和历史特征,所有这些都可以在线访问。2024 年初,全球非营利组织 Place 开始使用无人机和 360 度相机绘制图瓦卢首都富纳富提的物理特征。Though moving a country online has legal challenges – international law requires a country to have territory and population, both of which are uncertain in Tuvalu's future. At the same time, critics argue the plan is just for publicity, highlighting the need to reduce emissions. 尽管将一个国家转移到网上存在法律挑战,但国际法要求一个国家拥有领土和人口,而这两者对图瓦卢的未来来说都是不确定的。与此同时,批评者认为该计划只是为了宣传,强调减少排放的必要性。 Whatever happens, a digital twin of the country will help preserve its culture and heritage for generations to come. 无论发生什么,该国的数字孪生都将有助于为子孙后代保护其文化和遗产。

This is the second episode of a mini-series exploring the connection between the climate crisis, migration and human rights. This time, Dr Oluwatoyin Adejonwo and Jocelyn Perry help us get to the bottom of how climate change drives displacement and enhances other crises, such as poverty, loss of livelihood, and tensions relating to dwindling resources. We, then, also discuss what is being done in terms of advocacy, litigation, and policy responses to mitigate these effects. Dr Oluwatoyin Adejonwo is the founding and executive director of the Center for Climate Change and Sustainable Development (3CSD), a senior lecturer in the Department of Public Law at University of Lagos, Nigeria, and a solicitor and advocate of the Supreme Court of Nigeria. She holds a PhD in International environmental law. Jocelyn Perry is the senior advocate and program manager of the climate displacement program at Refugees International. She is also completing a Doctorate in Public Policy at the University of Oxford focusing on stakeholder involvement in climate adaptation planning across the United States.

Nearly half the world's population had elections this year, but for the first time in at least 20 years, progress for women's representation has slowed. In 60% of countries that voted this year, the number of women in parliament fell. Stephanie Hegarty, the BBC's population correspondent, discusses some of the countries where fewer women were elected and explains some of the factors behind the drop. She also looks at the regions — from Latin America to Africa — where female politicians made gains. We also hear from Puakena Boreham, a former member of parliament in the Pacific island of Tuvalu, and Indira Kempis, a former member of the Senate in Mexico. They discuss the importance of female representation and the challenges that female politicians face.

When rising sea levels threaten a country's very existence, how can its culture be preserved? Tuvalu wants to create an online replica of its landscape and an archive of its language, music and important artefacts. Prianka Srinivasan finds out how the government's “digital nation” plan is developing, and speaks to Tuvaluans about what they are already doing to celebrate and pass on the country's heritage and customs.
Earlier this fall, three Pacific Island States – Vanuatu, Fiji, and Samoa – formally proposed adding ecocide as a crime that can be heard and punished by the International Criminal Court, which can currently try individuals for war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, and the crime of aggression.Any change to the ICC's Rome Statute, particularly adding a new international crime, would require a massive level of diplomatic coordination and negotiation. But the future crime might hold individuals criminally accountable for severe environmental damage, such as massive oil or chemical spills or the destruction of rainforests. In the meantime, what does the ecocide proposal mean in practice? How might it potentially impact our understanding of ongoing destruction of the environment and the role of international criminal law? Joining the show to unpack the ecocide proposal are Naima Fifita, Rebecca Hamilton, and Kate Mackintosh. Naima is a lawyer from Tuvalu. She is the Executive Director of the Institute for Climate and Peace. Bec is an Executive Editor at Just Security and a Professor of Law at American University. Kate is Executive Director of the UCLA Law Promise Institute Europe, and Deputy Co-Chair of the Independent Expert Panel on the Legal Definition of Ecocide.

During a tour of the Pacific and Australia, Ajay Banga has visited Tuvalu - the first ever trip to the country by a World Bank president. There, he has observed the acute and severe impacts of climate change - and he has outlined the role he sees the World Bank playing to respond.
Considering new contributions to the Pacific Resilience Fund, is the global community doing enough to support Pacific Island countries? How has the Falepili Union between Australia and Tuvalu been received more broadly across the region? Will it be replicated? How does the Pacific Policing Initiative fit within the Pacific approach to collective security? How can the Pacific balance the pros and cons of the PALM scheme? In this episode, Maima Koro, Henritta McNeil and Joel Nilon join Bianca Birdsall to reflect on the 2024 Pacific Islands Forum, including the Pacific Resilience Fund, Pacific Policing Initiative, and the role of dialogue partners.

Thủ tướng Anthony Albanese đã tham gia cùng các nhà lãnh đạo khu vực tại Diễn đàn Quần đảo Thái Bình Dương khi căng thẳng bắt đầu xuất hiện ở New Caledonia. Sự kiện này diễn ra khi Úc và Tuvalu chuẩn bị công bố hiệp ước tiên phong của họ, Liên minh Falepili, sẽ cấp 280 thị thực cho người Tuvalu mỗi năm, để xây dựng cuộc sống tại Úc và tài trợ cho các dự án phát triển và thích ứng với khí hậu.
Anthony Albanese has secured regional support for his Pacific Policing Initiative, which the Australian prime minister says will strengthen collective peace and security. The initiative is widely seen by analysts as a rebuke to China's efforts to expand its own policing and security footprint in the region.

Већина аналитичара ову иницијативу види као оштар одговор напорима Кине да прошири сопствени полицијски и безбедносни утицај у региону.
One year ago, the Albanese Labor government launched the “New International Development Policy”. Darren invites back Bridi Rice, CEO of the Canberra-based Development Intelligence Lab, to assess where the policy stands 12 months in. They review the initial logic of the policy and discuss the role of Development Partnership Plans, the first two (for PNG and Indonesia) having been published. The discussion returns to the topic of integrating development practice and foreign policy, with the Falepili Union between Australia and Tuvalu used as an example. Darren also seeks Bridi's views on “non-traditional” development policies like Taiwan and AUKUS! Correction: The statistics in the think tank report are “Australia spends approximately $64b per year on foreign affairs, defence, development and intelligence. The total annual turnover among think tanks is around $64m". Bridi said $70b/$70m on the recording.

Sicile, Ponant, Féroé, Madagascar, Tuvalu... Situés aux quatre coins du monde, ces territoires ont tous pour point commun d'être entourés d'eau. Des paysages paradisiaques qui attirent chaque année de nombreux touristes. Pourquoi les îles nous fascinent-elles ? Et du côté des populations : entre isolement, pauvreté, identité marquée par la culture et les traditions, mais aussi menacée par la montée des eaux... À quoi ressemble la vie des habitants d'une île ? Comment les États insulaires, souvent mis à l'écart de leur pays ou continent, sont-ils parvenus à se construire leur propre identité et société ? Avec :• Louis Brigand, spécialiste de l'insularité, professeur émérite de géographie à l'Université de Bretagne Occidentale (UBO). Co-auteur de l'ouvrage Îles: Regards croisés sur l'insularité (Éditions Géorama, 2022) • Carola Kloeck, chercheuse à Science Po Paris, spécialiste de l'adaptabilité et de la gouvernance des petits États insulaires face au changement climatique Un entretien sur la Sicile avec Cécile Debarge, correspondante de RFI à Palerme en Italie Et en fin d'émission, 8 milliards de voisins se met à l'heure des Jeux olympiques avec Emmanuelle Bastide et Christophe Jousset, chef du service des sports de RFI.

Last month, Europe's top human rights court issued a major decision in the fight against climate change. In KlimaSeniorinnen v. Switzerland, the highest chamber of the European Court of Human Rights found that the Swiss government has violated the human rights of its citizens by not doing enough to address the threat of climate change. The decision is a landmark ruling for activists, lawyers, and communities who are trying to use human rights law to hold governments accountable for promises to fight global warming. But it's not the only case asking what international law requires of nations when it comes to protecting the environment. The Inter-American Court of Human Rights, the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, and the International Court of Justice are all grappling with similar questions.What do these cases mean for the fight against climate change? Where are the opportunities and risks? Joining the show to discuss the “Year of Climate” in international courts and tribunals are Naima Fifita and Joana Setzer. Naima is a lawyer from Tuvalu who has taken an active role in proceedings by small island nations before the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea. Joana is an Associate Professorial Research Fellow at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).
