To end off Rotuman Language Week, UQ SPIA and have come together to honour our Pacific languages through a climate lens with the launch of our 'Climate Language Weeks!'

Starting us off, we have our first Rotuman Climate Week video featuring our Academic Co .kearns04

Our connection to the land and ocean is at the heart of who we are as Pacific people 🤎

When our environment suffers, our communities feel it too: In our health, our wellbeing, and our way of life.

Caring for our environment is caring for each other.
