Yours truly is on island time with my posts but I really did appreciate the conversation on the necessity of #finance to deliver on #climateambition this year. On the road to #COP29AZE .

This is what happens to islands in RMI 🇲🇭 during a king tide, a common occurrence and reality for low-lying atoll nations.

Marshallese fb feed is filled with videos, pictures and fb live clips of floodings from king tide over the weekend and today hitting Majuro, Jaluit, Kili, Ebeye, and now just hearing about Likiep too

In honor of International Women's Day, I celebrate this brilliant daughter of the #MarshallIslands . Gone far too soon but her legacy lives on in her contributions to our scientific understanding of atoll environments impacted by #nucleartesting and #climatechange . Rest in Love.

For Islands Business, I speak with Marshall Islands President Hilda Heine, who is concerned about funding delays for Compact states. Her shot across the bows: “Our nation has been a steadfast ally of the United States, but that should not be taken for granted.”
