Tuvalu’s 12,000 people and 26 square kilometers of paradise need the help of the global community. Rising sea levels are causing a multitude of problems for this island country found in the Pacific half way between Hawaii and Australia. We must not remain passive and need to make concrete commitments to mitigate the effects of climate change and save Tuvalu.

He made a passionate speech to the United Nations Security Council, focusing on climate change and it’s security implications. Read the statement here.
