Planet Beyond
Episode 1: Saving the South Pacific
Introducing Fugro’s Planet Beyond podcast. In this inaugural episode we look at the islands of the South Pacific, whose inhabitants are among the first to experience the hardships of climate change.
Sea level rises, coupled with more frequent and more extreme weather events, are impacting the lives of these low-lying coastal communities.
We are joined by two experts in disaster relief and coastal resilience to discuss what is currently being done to help these communities, what still needs to be done, and whether there is still time to act.
