PCP Talks and Workshops

Since 2006, the PCP has been taking steps to help ensure that the voice of Pacific Islands on climate change is heard loud and clear in the Australian and global community. Our speakers have presented on a range of topics, including:

  • The impacts of climate change on Pacific Islands, particularly Kiribati and Tuvalu
  • Climate justice in the Pacific: climate change as a human rights issue
  • Climate science
  • Climate action- what you can do to help
  • Eco-justice/spirituality
  • Laudato Si, Pope Francis's powerful encyclical on sustainability and climate justice  
  • Cross-cultural awareness: differences between Pacific and Australian cultures

If you would like to book one of our speakers, please email our Coordinator, Corinne Fagueret, at [email protected] 

OUR SPEAKERS:

 

Maria Tiimon Chi-Fang, PCP Pacific Outreach Officer

Maria comes from the island nation of Kiribati right on the equator in the Pacific and one of the places in our region most at risk from the impacts of climate change.

Maria presents the face of climate-affected communities that have few resources to adapt. 

In the time that she has been with the PCP, Maria has made a huge impact on all who have met her. She combines a care for the future of her own people with a generous and graceful concern to bring people gradually and positively to an understanding of the kinds of decisions industrialised societies need to make if we are to extend the amount of time her people can continue to live on their islands.
