Against The Tide: A Journey for Climate Hope

Activism – 30 min

In 2017, a group of young leaders from states on the front line of climate change and marine degradation joined Peace Boat’s Global Voyage as a part of a new programme to highlight these crucial issues. These young women and men, between 19 and 26 years of age, were from the regions of the Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean and the Caribbean. Over the following three weeks, they visited Lisbon, Bordeaux, London, Edinburgh, Reykjavik and New York. In every port, they connected with civil society organizations and government agencies bringing their message to citizens and government
representatives throughout the voyage. The film portrays their experience and raises awareness about the fragility and vulnerability of the small island states.
