Honoured that my essay “Reporting the Nuclear Pacific” has been included in the inaugural edition of the new journal Pacific Media (the successor to the long running Pacific Journalism Review). It looks at the ethics and challenges of working with affected communities.

The colours, voices and strength of the people occupied the city of Belém during the two weeks of COP30, in the Brazilian state of Pará.

Even though the results of the negotiations fell short, the mobilisation of different groups and peoples placed civil society participation at COP30 on another level.
