As the Cop30 climate talks continue in Brazil, Madeleine Finlay
hears about a landscape at the opposite end of the planet facing
the direct impacts of the climate crisis. The Guardian reporter
Leyland Cecco recounts a recent trip to Qikiqtaruk (also known as
Herschel Island) off the coast of Canada’s Yukon territory, where
he saw first hand how indigenous groups and scientists are
reckoning with an ecosystem collapsing into the sea. He tells
Madeleine about efforts to preserve the history of the island and
how scientists are racing to understand what it means for the fate
of other arctic communities.. Help support our independent
