Fijian Researcher Takes Climate Fight to Global Stage

As rising sea levels pose an existential threat to Pacific communities, a young Fijian researcher is amplifying the region's climate change fight on the international stage. Adi Sivoki Oripa Susu, a dedicated climate advocate, has earned a coveted spot in the first Island Youth Network Virtual Delegation to the United Nations Climate Change Negotiations.

Representing both Fiji and the broader Pacific region, Susu will bring the urgent concerns of island nations directly to global policymakers. Her selection underscores the critical role young voices play in advocating for climate action and highlights the disproportionate impact of climate change on vulnerable island communities. Susu's work aims to ensure the Pacific's perspective is central to international climate discussions and to push for meaningful commitments to address the crisis.
