Climate Change, Small Islands, and Me | Part of the ESRC Festival of Social Science
Can a country disappear?
This might sound like something from science fiction but climate change is causing global sea levels to rise and could cause some entire low-lying island countries to be underwater by the end of this century. We will be asking what a country is and thinking about how climate change is affecting island communities in the South Pacific. Through film, writing and drawing – and talking to our researchers – you’ll learn more about climate change, island communities, and think about what we can do to bring about change both locally and nationally.

Suitable for everyone. This is a drop-in activity – just turn up!

This event will be run by Liam Saddington and Daniel Hall, School of Geography and Environment, Steffan Williams, St Catherine’s College, University of Oxford
