In an artistic fusion of culture and activism, Pacific hip-hop artists, poets, and dancers are turning up the volume on climate change. The powerful poem “ They Taking Pictures of Us in the Water” by Audrey Brown-Pereira has been remixed into a compelling hip-hop track, amplifying the urgent call to action for Pacific communities affected by Climate change.

Talks are well underway in preparation for the next major international meeting on climate change, 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28), scheduled to begin Nov. 30 in the United Arab Emirates.
Much like last year’s COP27, finances — specifically, aid to developing nations — will be at the center of conference deliberations.
The conference faces an even greater sense of urgency brought on by the Sept. 8, 2023, release of the first global stocktake, which calls for accelerated action to meet the goals set in the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement (COP21).
