Small island nations are among the first but not last habitats facing erasure by climate change. Mia Mottley speaks eloquently to the UN General Assembly every year, calling for a shift in focus to collective wellbeing. Peggy Antrobus, a generation older, has long been a world leader in the women's rights, feminist economy and environment movements. She lives in Barbados and admires Mottley. Both call us to shift our priorities and actions now to save our world.
