'Carteret Islanders are victims of climate change, we do not emit greenhouse
let alone drive cars on the island, do not
have an airstrip on the island, yet we have become victims of others doing'.
Probably get there by the end of next year on my yacht.

Carteret Islands are somewhere to the north west of Bougainville island, between Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. Last I heard, a year or two back, a bunch had gotten a ship to take them to the former war zone of Bougainville...

The atolls are shrinking, there is a lack of arable land to plant food
crops, the atolls are 1.2meters above sea level and
the population increase cannot cater for the population. The Carteret
Integrated Relocation Program means building 10
safe and secure homes for 10 families on mainland Bougainville by June 2008.
Advocacy and capacity building is needed in networking and building
alliances. Please join in partnering and help donate
towards the Carteret community and their first youth forum on environmental
advocacy. Contributions will go towards audio-
visual equipment and their digital stories will be shown in June 2008 to
coincide with Biennale of Sydney.
