Arctic and small island nations join forces against climate change | 

Imagine you live on an island, a tropical paradise. 
Turquoise waters rise and fall at the shore’s edge. The ocean’s rhythmic sounds lull you into a sense of security. All feels right in your island home.

Suddenly, reality strikes.
