PCP Reflection paper -- Kiribati -- Marita McInerney

Reflections on recent visit to Kiribati by PCP's Marita McInerny...

It was with a great deal of anticipation and some trepidation that I arrived at the Sydney International Terminal at 4am on the 11th April 2012. The Kiribati visit that I was about to embark on was something that I had been thinking about for some time... only now was that trip able to became a reality.

Having worked as a volunteer at the Pacific Calling Partnership at the Edmund Rice Centre for a bit over three years now and seen many DVD’s, heard many stories and listened to Maria Tiimon and Kateia Kakai (indigenous I-Kiribati who work at PCP) talk of their homeland and the problems Kiribati and the I-Kiribati people face due to development issues and climate change – now the time was right for me to visit Kiribati and experience and observe for myself just what the reality was.

PCP Reflection paper -- Climate Justice: Tuvalu -- Jill Finnane

Tuvalu struggles with an international profile of being tiny (nine coral atolls with a grand total of 25.6 sq km), remote (in the Pacific between Fiji and Kiribati), and largely unknown. Yet Tuvalu strives resolutely for international attention, refusing to lie down and slowly disappear as the rest of the world closes its eyes to the problems created by excessive global greenhouse gas emissions. Funafuti is the main island.

Tuvalu is one of the small island states whose story the Pacific Calling Partnership (PCP) has been telling to Australia and global community since 2006. In 2012, PCP decided to strengthen and expand its links with Tuvalu and gain a deeper understanding of Tuvaluan concerns.

PCP Co-ordinator Jill Finnane was sent for a week to immerse herself in the place, make contact with local people, learn some of the people’s experiences and concerns and to meet with members of the Tuvalu Climate Action Network. This is some of her experience...

Donate to support ERC's work

URGENT! Support our work for asylum seekers.

Update: ERC Director, Phil Glendenning, recently returned to Australia from Afghanistan after 10 days interviewing returned asylum seekers again in Kabul.

ERC is redoubling our efforts to find a third-country resettlement option for those returnees from Australia with whom we have been able to make contact. We need financial support to achieve this.

Such work uncovers high levels of risk for the deportees (and for our researchers). Research publications are available here.

Listen to Phil speak of the visit to ABC Radio National's Phillip Adams.
