@AJEnglish@MatthieuRytz@AliceRThomas Former President of the Republic of Kiribati Anote Tong: "We have had the Paris Agreement [...] but nobody has accepted liability and responsibility for what needs to be done next." He adds: "Our future very much is still in jeopardy."
@AJEnglish@MatthieuRytz@AliceRThomas .@AliceRThomas: "You can't just pick people up and move them somewhere else. As the President [Former President of the Republic of Kiribati Anote Tong] knows and can tell us, I mean people are their land."
@AJEnglish@MatthieuRytz@AliceRThomas Former President of the Republic of Kiribati Anote Tong on getting more attention and help for the people of Kiribati: "I had to make that statement at the United Nations General Assembly to say yes, the polar bears are affected, but so are we."
@AJStream@AJEnglish@MatthieuRytz@AliceRThomas As President Tong had mentioned before, is not matter of will it happen, but what we gonna do about it? Climate refugee crisi will not end with Kiribati, but it's the start. Many more countries will see their own citizens becoming refugees including USA
@AJEnglish@MatthieuRytz@AliceRThomas .@MatthieuRytz on the threat of rising sea levels in Kiribati: "It's very subtle. I didn't want to make and I couldn't make a dramatic kind of climate change movie where you see a lot of storm and drought [...] but it is coming, it's coming very slowly."
