Litokne Kabua
Climate Activist
Marshall Islands
Litokne Kabua is a sixteen-year old Marshallese whose family has always lived on Ebeye Island. His home is a two minute walk to the ocean, and he grew up respecting the ocean’s central role in his life and community. Litokne’s family has relied on the ocean to provide a source of food through fishing, and to connect them to members of their family living on the Marshall Islands’ outer, more remote, islands. The climate crisis is threatening the way of life of the Marshallese people. Litokne knows that his home and islands will not last forever and are under an impending threat from sea level rise.
