Island Nations on the Frontlines of Climate Change: A Talk with Dr. Laura Brewington

In this episode, we delve into the intersection of journalism, science, and policymaking to address climate change's impact on island communities, particularly in the Pacific. These fragile, low-lying islands face rising sea levels, flooding, and coastal erosion, making them critical indicators of our changing climate. Dr. Laura Brewington, co-leader of the Pacific RISA program, joins us to discuss her extensive work in climate adaptation, biosecurity, and island conservation. With over 15 years of experience spanning the Pacific Islands and the Galapagos, Dr. Brewington shares insights into the collaborative efforts needed to combat these challenges and how science can guide sustainable solutions.
