In the Pacific we grapple with both COVID19 and the Climate Crisis’s realities, we know the answers to a fair and just recovery lie in the traditional knowledge and systems held by indigenous people worldwide.
In the build-up to the Global Climate Strikes, during our 2020 Matagi Mãlohi week of climate action, we brought our people and communities together to plant, create, and nurture life. We showcased that we are resilient people who move through this world with a rooted perspective in our stories, culture, history, love, and faith.
Our Pacific Climate Warriors across the region and diaspora organized 31 online and offline events during our Matagi Malohi Week of Climate Action to show the world what a Just Recovery looked like for us.
Here are highlights of our Climate Strikes across our network.
