Join Professors Jeffrey Sachs, Christina Gerhardt and UN Senior
Advisor on Small Island Developing States, Simona Marinescu as
they discuss human induced global warming, the implications of
rising sea levels, and Gerhardt’s book, Sea Change: An Atlas of
Islands in a Rising Ocean. This discussion shifts our focus to
the frontlines of climate change—low-lying islands and despite
contributing the least to global warming, these islands bear the
brunt of its impacts.
Together, they explore the local stories of various islands and
coastlines through immersive storytelling, scientific insight,
and research from each of their own personal experiences. Join us
to learn about the impacts of climate change, tourism, military
bases and more on these island economies and their indigenous
inhabitants. While the implications for these communities are
dire, leave hopeful that there are solutions and approaches being
used to protect the cultural heritage and identity of these
islands.

Development Solutions Network. Learn more and get involved at
