Immensely proud of my friend and law partner,
@julian_aguon, who displayed profound strength and resilience by penning this poignant piece amidst the chaos of a climate disaster in Guam. His words bear witness to our shared humanity and the urgent need for climate action.
Julian Aguon’s brilliant new article, written just a few weeks after Typhoon Mawar ravaged Guam moved me to tears. He shares stories of islander resiliency, reciprocity, and power in the face of the compounding harms of colonialism and climate change

Today, history was made. The UN General Assembly adopted by consensus a resolution to seek an advisory opinion on climate change from the International Court of Justice. Congratulations to @VanuatuUN for their leadership and vision which made this day possible
“If climate change is the god of death, it is a merciless one and it is coming for everything, even the cool respite of night.
Then again, in Guam, the god of death is being outdone by the god of war.”
Powerful words by @julian_aguon for @guardian

The Elders urge the #UNGA to get behind this call from islands on the frontlines of the #ClimateCrisis.
An #ICJ advisory opinion on #ClimateChange would spur ambition in this critical decade. Climate change is a threat to millions living in the most climate vulnerable nations.
