About Island on Alert

Some of the clearest and most urgent calls for climate action have come from leaders and activists on small island nations. And there's a good reason why: despite being responsible for less than 1% of cumulative greenhouse gas emissions, small island nations are on the forefront of rising sea levels, extreme storms, and other climate impacts. In this hard-hitting, informative, and compelling podcast hosted by Andy Liburd, a renowned media figure in Antigua and Barbuda, scientists, political negotiators, energy specialists, and Indigenous and youth voices will share the stage. An episode was released each week leading up to COP26 (2021).
