Can small islands live with climate change?
The Prime Minister of Barbados, Mia Mottley, has been raising awareness of the impact that climate change is having on small island nations like hers, from the Caribbean to the Indian and Pacific Oceans.

In this episode, Qasa Alom speaks to reporters in Fiji and the Maldives about what small island nations can do to survive.

Dr Nadya Vinogradova Shiffer, Director of the Ocean Physics program at NASA
