The socio-political and legal push by small island developing states and youth activists at the UN climate summit reflects the motivation seen in the Moana films.
Walking through the delegation pavilion at the UN climate summit, Cop29 , in Baku, Azerbaijan, the Moana blue Pacific pavilion grabbed my attention more than any other.
At the pavilion, one delegate from Vanuatu poignantly told me “we’re tired” of the negotiations so far. Those two words encapsulate the exhaustion of nations on the frontline of climate change. The challenge is real, and action is urgently needed. The voices of small island developing states and youth must be amplified across the globe in order to make substantial progress.
Here in Baku, I have been noticing an increasing push by small island developing states and youth activists and liken this to Moana’s own mission. Small island developing states bear a disproportionate brunt of climate consequences. Voices from each and every small island developing state need to be listened to, and heard. The prime minister of Barbados, Mia Mottley, recently called for a face-to-face discussion about climate with Trump, to seek a “common ground in saving planet and saving livelihoods”.Listening to young voices On December 2, the International Court of Justice will begin its public hearings on the request for advisory opinion on climate change.
