 We are now at the brink. Each scientific report brings home a more profound and serious expose of imminent risks, threats and dangers posed by climate change. This would put the entire Marshallese population at risk and most likely result in the forced relocation of our people and the loss of our homeland. Yet climate-driven migration, displacement or mobility at a large scale or consuming our entire population, our risk, our people will need to face in the future. However, we want to remain on our islands. We are absolutely not out of time or getting on the next canoe out of town. But now is the time to act. This is the time to build on global cooperation through strong and practical measures to address emissions, not to limit economies, but to limit risks and perhaps most importantly to build resilience adaptation across the board. We have to plan, live, learn and build much differently and with much more benefit to our local communities.
