A large proportion of the population of most Pacific Island Countries consists of young people.
Youth are constantly acknowledged as the ‘future’ and key to resolving many of the region’s issues, but still face all kinds of challenges, including tokenism from leaders, access to resources and lack of interest.

In this video, we hear from Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner and Desmond Doulatram, Anfernee ‘Nenol’ Kaminaga and Patsy Glad of the Marshall Islands with Joe Kalo of Vanuatu.
