There Once Was an Island: Bringing Southern Pacific Perspectives to the Climate Change Conversation.

This is the third article in a three-part special issue titled "Pacific Islands, Extreme Environments" edited by Andrea E. Murray. Murray's review of a documentary film about the present-day consequences of climate change in Papua New Guinea highlights Kelman's piece on the challenges of multi-scalar governance, and brings to life Niazi's inquiry into the fate of so-called "climate refugees" in the Asia-Pacific. The author argues for the power and urgency of multimedia research and reporting in places most immediately affected by rising sea levels, while also questioning the notion that certain dwindling human populations and cultural practices can be "saved" by avoiding relocation to a more densely populated mainland.
