From Dr Amanda H A Watson on It’s not gender or climate — it’s both or it’s neither
Dear Erin,
Two articles by our late colleague Elise Howard may be of use to you. Her article titled ‘Whose Security are We Protecting in a Time of Climate Change? How Gender Bias Affects Human Security for Pacific Women’ was published in the journal Geopolitics in 2023. It’s available at the following link: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14650045.2023.2273829
Her article titled ‘Linking gender, climate change and security in the Pacific Islands Region: A systematic review’ was published in the journal Ambio in 2022. It’s available at the following link: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13280-022-01813-0
My apologies if you're already familiar with this material.
Amanda
From Ed Bell on The Year of Living Non-Verbally
Thank you, Graham I'd echo others. I'm so glad you're recovering and still pushing us all to think hard about critical things and how to achieve them (in our own organisations, governments etc. and in the development assistance we provide). You may be whispering or writing but you have a loud and persuasive voice!
From John Mora Puaka on NID cards for all by September 2025 – Marape’s latest empty promise
Been in and out of that office for quite awhile now. No ones interested in you and your wellbeing. We need action leaders to summonized the plight of every citizen of this country. God bless this nation!
From John Mora Puaka on Papua LNG: why so delayed?
The longer the delay, the economic suffers and it leads to more unnecessary loans by the country itself. PNG needs a man of action to progress with the project so that the economic stimulates. Far too long this project has been dragging along and nobody knows why. It's a God given blessings and should be validated as soon as possible otherwise in the long run and the persistent loans in the future, this whole nation will go to the dogs. Sialauo Ara leatiro! @ Mangi East West Kerema 👍🙏
From Linda S Bina on Gendered differences in students’ attitudes to gender
There really needs to be a 1st year compulsory course that addresses issues that consider our culture but also look at ways we can progress as a nation. Such findings point to the deeply ingrained socio cultural systems and beliefs we have which we find our place from. Bringing students fresh from year 12 from all over the country to recognise this and identify for themselves such beliefs and to question whether that aspect of our beliefs is worth keeping or should be adapted and or changed with time should contribute to breaking this gender stereotypes.
From Phoebe Ryan on Risk vs reward: middle powers in the new global aid landscape
Great piece Cam! You've touched on so many of the areas we're tracking and worried about. Please keep reporting on this.
From Wendy Flannery on Hope in Tuvalu’s climate change response: Falepili to Digital Nation
A great article, challenging the Australian government's self-projection as "a saviour" of Tuvalu's people, when it's real interest is geographical control from a militaristic perspective. Not to mention that fact of Australia's continuing support of fossil fuel projects in its own economic interests.
From Joey Alex Ian on Papua LNG: why so delayed?
A statement from the Minister Jimmy Maladina was, all should go well before the country's 51st independence.
From Leai Wuri on My education journey from Jiwaka to UPNG
When our parents believes in us, there is nothing on earth that can stop our progression. You story is very touching and inspirational. Heavenly Father sees the unseen efforts. All the best in your future journey. Thankyou so much.
From Stephen Charteris on It’s not gender or climate — it’s both or it’s neither
Totally agree with this brilliant distillation of integrated issues and pathways fwd. Upticks all the way. Thank you Erin for this insightful article.
From Godfrey Baldacchino on The Pacific’s remittance dependence: labour out, cash in
Dr Prasad - I will glady support an international, comprehensive study of how to stimulate return migration, with a small state focus. It should have a global reach, consider as many examples as posible from the Caribbean, Pacific, Indian, Mediterranean, West African and Middle East Regions. It should proceed with a standard template, including both quantitative statistics and qualitative arguments. 'Best practices' to be highlighted, where they exist.
If we are looking at an eventual publication, there is a 'Small State Studies' seies with an international publisher, of which I am a series editor.
I wonder if UNRISD can effectively lead such a study?
