Tuvalu: the fight to save a sinking nation from climate change

Grace Malie is known as “Tuvalu’s Greta Thunberg”, or the “real-life Moana”. The 25-year-old climate activist has been travelling the world, fighting to stop her atoll island nation being lost to climate change.

She’s part of a unique project we’ve been following on this programme, which is trying to negotiate a sovereign future for Tuvalu. This week, we accompanied Grace to New York, as she addressed a sea level rise summit at the UN, and told the world’s leaders what they need to do to save her people.
