Confronting the Climate Threat to Island Existence with Karen-Mae Hill

Confronting the Climate Threat to Island Existence with Karen-Mae Hill

What happens when climate change is an intensifying daily reality?

Karen-Mae Hill, is High Commissioner for Antigua and Barbuda. Here she joins Nik Gowing to describe the nerve wracking life on the frontline of the climate crisis.

From hurricanes the size of Texas to coral reef restoration and renewable energy innovation, she describes both the challenges and the opportunities facing Small Island Developing States.

"When a hurricane impacts an island state, it's the whole country that's gone."

Yet there are reasons for some optimism.

"We are doing what we can as a small island developing state."

This conversation explores climate resilience, sustainable development, leadership and the practical actions needed to create lasting change.
