The Pacific island nations of Tuvalu and Kiribati are among the most vulnerable to our changing climate, with communities already experiencing higher temperatures, shifts in rainfall patterns, rising sea levels and changes in the frequency and intensity of extreme climate events. Time is crucial, and it is imperative for the world to act fast help save our low lying Pacific atolls from being lost to the one thing that has sustained their communities for centuries – the Pacific ocean. It is vital for the world to hear and learn about climate change, particularly from those who experience the severe impacts at the front line. Our talk features 6 trailblazing climate activists from Kiribati and Tuvalu, who will be speaking on their personal experience of climate change and the significant impacts it has had on their communities at a range of levels.

Climate Change Balmain-Rozelle is famous for its bi-monthly event: Climate in the Pub, We invite speakers on a wide range of subjects to give a short talk followed by a Q&A ssession.
Climate in the Pub Meetups provide a regular opportunity to meet others in Inner West Sydney who share your concern for the climate, find out what's happening to promote change and see how you can help take action on the climate crisis. Or we may have a quiz or another fun event.
Also, don't miss our film nights held jointly with the Meet the Director program at the Darling Street Anglican Church, 668 Darling Street, Rozelle.
Except for film nights we generally meet at the Merton Hotel, 38 Victoria Rd, Rozelle.
Come from 6.30 for a friendly drink. The meeting will begin at 7pm, and you are welcome to join others for a reasonably priced meal at the completion of the meeting about 8.15.
