Starting from Taiwan, seafarers made their way to settle islands across the Indian and Pacific Oceans (from Cole and Chen, 2020). The numbers represent the approximate year that people first arrived at each island with (-) signs denoting BCE (Before Common Era) and (+) signs denoting CE (Common Era).<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>How is it related to climate?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another major goal of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Small Island Big Song<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is to raise awareness of the effects of the climate crisis on island nations. Producers Chen and Cole were compelled by the 5th Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report in 2014. Earlier, they had worked with Pintupi Elders, Indigenous Australian peoples, and were inspired by their culture and relationship with nature.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Indigenous groups have lived sustainably in their traditional land for thousands of years. Despite making little to no contribution to anthropogenic climate change, Indigenous communities are facing the most severe climate effects. For example, many low-lying island nations are rapidly losing land due to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/sea-level-rise-and-coastal-flooding-recent\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">rising sea levels<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Human-induced climate change is also making storms stronger and possibly also more frequent, threatening island nations in tropical latitudes.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As a result of climate change, Indigenous peoples and cultures are at risk. Through song and dance, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Small Island Big Song<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> aims to share cultural knowledge and unite seafaring peoples from the Indian and Pacific Oceans in efforts to advocate against the unwanted consequences of climate change.<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Climate advocacy can go a long way. In March 2023, years of tireless work paid off for Vanuatu, a small Pacific island nation at risk from climate-induced storms and sea level rise (image below). They successfully persuaded the United Nations to request an advisory ruling from the International Court of Justice to refine the legal consequences of high-emitting countries for climate-related damages. This is a historic win for Vanuatu and other island nations as it will hold industrial nations accountable and promote international cooperation against climate change.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_1520\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1520\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1520\" src=\"https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2023\/07\/5e1c765df442313ad51de2e7-Large.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"792\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2023\/07\/5e1c765df442313ad51de2e7-Large.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2023\/07\/5e1c765df442313ad51de2e7-Large-300x198.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2023\/07\/5e1c765df442313ad51de2e7-Large-1024x676.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2023\/07\/5e1c765df442313ad51de2e7-Large-768x507.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2023\/07\/5e1c765df442313ad51de2e7-Large-624x412.jpeg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1520\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photograph of the coastline of Erakor island, part of the island nation of Vanuatu in the South Pacific Ocean.
