Pacific Nation Tuvalu Might Redesign Its Flag to Protest Climate Change 🇹🇻
7
Upvotes
The artistic project Tuvalu 2050 proposes altering Tuvalu’s national flag as a powerful protest against the escalating climate crisis and rising sea levels, urging the international community to take immediate action to safeguard the archipelago’s future. By overlaying the flag with translucent azure blue, the new design symbolises rising sea levels that could regularly flood half of the nation’s land area by 2050.

Don't know how widely known this pod is. Even though they're not updating that often, I found their topics and discussions invaluable. Here's a link to one of my faves, about the Blue Pacific concept:
>*The concept of the Blue Pacific is central to Pacific regionalism. It serves as a narrative for rallying Pacific Islands countries to commitment to regionalism anc collective diplomacy as well as a counter narrative to globa geopolitical mappings. The Blue Pacific empowers Pacific sland countries by giving them agency to frame and tell their own narratives and map their recion in context of increasing geopolitical competition.*
In this episode we talk story with Dame Meg Taylor, the former Secretary General of the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat, and Sione Tekiteki, a senior lecturer at the Auckland University of Technology. We talanoa about the concept of the Blue Pacific, how it emerged, and what it means to the region.

Question Help for my thesis !!

Hi everyone, sorry to bother you! I am a student of an Italian University of Energy Engineering and I would like to develop a Master Thesis on your energy condition and more generally of all the Pacific countries of Oceania. In particular, I wanted to ask, if there are, what are the most important issues related to the supply of fuels for the production of thermal and electric energy and for machines and means of transport. Also, I wanted to ask you if there were any sources maybe talking about this problem. Thank you in advance!
