In late 2022 I did a couple of field trips in PNG exploring questions of climate change, climate justice & locally lead responses to changing conditions. As well as visiting coastal areas, where rising seas are the urgent issue, I went to the highlands where shifts in rainfall and conditions can wipe out crops and household incomes. I visited David and Anna Kulimbao, agricultural specialists helping farmers prepare for the inevitable next big drought. Their insights were part of the climate justice essay I wrote for The Monthly in April 2023. But I’ve long felt their work deserved further exploration, and wider understanding. So, finally! You can hear from them and Dr Lilly Sar of the University of Goroka about their work using new and traditional science to get ahead of the next Big One.
