This is Esau Sinnok & Itinterunga Rae Bainteiti from the island's of Shishmaref in the Arctic and Kiribati in the Pacific. They live at different latitudes and very different temperatures, but they share a similar community based lifestyle.

I caught up with David Gawith to get the highlights from the COP21 leaders event. Strong sentiments and emotive entreaties kicked off the negotiations. But who said what, and will words translate into actions?

Applications have almost closed to join AYLI's delegation to COP21 in Paris! There's still time to submit your application. So If you are still trying to make up your mind then have a quick look over these photos I took at last years conference in Lima, Peru. Then hurry and send in your application before the end of the day!

I was privileged to speak about my experiences at COP20 to one of my sponsors last night. COP was such an immense, intense, cathartic experience that within the 20 minute discussion I could really only give a brief overview of all that happened. But, one thing I was thanked for in particular was including plenty of photos from the adventure.

Yesterday, the Western Leader wrote about our COP 20 delegates Benjamin Brooking, Renee Annan, Kern Mangan-Walker and Yong Ly travelling to Lima.
