Join Gyles & Aphra Brandreth as they venture to the west-central Pacific Ocean to explore the 4th smallest country in the world by land mass, and a country where the population is less than 12,000, Tuvalu. Speaking to the Honorary Consul General for Tuvalu in the UK, H.E. Dr Sir Iftikhar Ayaz, we learn about Tuvalu’s past and its future, in a country where the threat of climate change is immediate with most of the islands sitting barely three meters above sea level. Poems in this episode include: Tuvalu, Tuvalu an original poem by Sir Iftikhar Ayaz KBE, first recited at the Commonwealth Foundation's Festive Poetry Event; an English translation of a Climate Song by Maina Talia; and Tuvalu Blues by Selina Tusitala Marsh.
