Selina Leem: Why we're at risk of becoming climate refugees |
"Scientists have predicted that soon, my home will be uninhabitable," Selina Leem, a citizen of the Marshall Islands, said April 13, 2016 at the Skoll World Forum Opening Plenary in Oxford, England. “What we want is global justice."

Fantastic job. Hope someone will be able "hear" her today; and do something about it.
Selina, you make me cry with pride and gratitude. You are an amazing young lady and I know and pray that the Lord will continue to lead us. You are not only speaking for RMi but for all the Pacific Islands. Kommol tata Selina and jeraman elap nan kwe!
Been there years ago. They have some of the nicest, kindest, and most beautiful women on the planet.
Well presented. Very emotional speech delivered by a very strong young woman of the island. Nations have heard and surely they will contribute to this cause, this movement we are all in it to win it, preserving our islands, our culture, and most importantly what's left of it from our dear ancestors. Probs to you Selena!
God bless the Marshall Islands.
Great speech! We definitely need to aim for 1.5 °C and take strong measures! #DivestCoal
dude, well done!
Marshall islands are one of those island that they do not have mountain so it is true that they will or we have to just wait and see what nature will create to help the islands of Micronesia or the Pacific islands. My question is who we are asking for help but this the nature decision not America Japan or Europe even if they help but no one will solve this problem except the Heavenly Father
