The film delves into the effects of sea level rise on South Pacific communities and provides an in-depth look at one of the most urgent climate challenges of our time.
Following the screening, an engaging panel discussion, with Prof. Géraldine Giraudeau, Prof. Alberto Costi, Prof. James Renwick, Prof. Adrian Macey moderated by A-Prof. Geoffroy Lamarche will explore the multifaceted impacts on the Pacific Ocean, building on the issues raised in the film.
