Tagata o te Moana for 21 December 2019

Description:

Pacific countries and climate activists are calling for an overhaul of how the world tackles climate change, after this month's round of UN negotiations ended in failure; Papua New Guinea's government has made a strong pitch of commitment to Bougainville's future following the autonomous region's historic independence vote; Samoa was warned about the threat of measles as early as March, and urged to immunise its population; a group of political protestors on Nauru, convicted on offences that occurred in June 2015, have all been given custodial sentences; the humanitarian aid agency World Vision has been making preparations in the southwest Pacific for the cyclone season, and; a lack of understanding around Pacific Island culture and values and a fear of failure have been identified as key barriers preventing more Pasifika players becoming involved in rugby leadership in New Zealand.
