Short Video StoriesBlue PacificWe have launched a short documentary film project with the Pacific branch of the ePOP Network. Together, we are building a platform to elevate Pacific voices on climate change.
The ePOP network gives a voice to people affected by climate change by supporting them to make short videos on local issues and solutions. The ePOP network also ensures the videos are shared during public events, via social networks, in local and international media and at international meetings. If you would like to make a short 2 - 3 minute video telling your climate story ... please reach out to ePOP Pacific's Regional Coordinator, and Climate Reality Leader, Matthias Balagny: epop.pacific@gmail.com. |

We would like to invite all people with strong community ties to the Blue Pacific to be involved in the project.

Blue Pacific to GlasgowIn October 2021, Climate Reality hosted an online forum for Pacific voices to be heard in Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific—and the world—for ambitious climate commitments at the Glasgow COP 26 climate negotiations.
The forum featured former U.S Vice President, Hon Al Gore; Secretary General of the Pacific Islands Forum, Hon Henry Puna; Fiji Prime Minister and Chair of the Pacific Islands Forum, Hon Frank Bainimarama; and other prominent government and civil society leaders for this Blue Pacific to Glasgow Forum. Key speakers explored the needed outcomes from the critical COP26 negotiations in Glasgow this November to secure a safe and prosperous climate across this region. |
Climate Change in the Blue PacificThe Blue Pacific Continent covers more than one third of the earth's surface and is highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Sea level rise, extreme weather, and warming oceans present great challenges to the well-being and survival of people, nations, economies, and the diverse ecosystems of the region.
Many of the Pacific nations have contributed the least to climate change and yet are experiencing some of the severest impacts. Tackling the climate crisis presents opportunities to secure our future, improve well-being, build on the resilience of communities, and develop clean economies for the Blue Pacific Continent. |
