Volunteer – Papua New Guinea
I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Communication Arts-Journalism and Media studies from Divine Word University, a state University in my country. Papua New Guinea is an island country in the Pacific and the effect of climate change and global warming will be devastating if we don’t do something about it. We need to start somewhere to minimize the impact/effects of global warming. I come from the Inland and the most mountainous parts of Papua New Guinea but that does not mean I don’t feel or see the work of global change and warming of the ozone. We are starting to experience a rise in the temperature in the mountains; plants and animals that could not survive in cold temperatures are now living and breeding in some of the highest peaks. The capital city, Port Moresby, is now facing the blistering heat of the sun with temperature rising to 39-40 degrees Celsius. The tropical rain forest is drying up due to the decline in precipitation and that is causing water shortage and power/load shedding in the villages and towns. Something must be done.

GlobalConscience.World Ambassadors
We know how committed our Ambassadors are to being part of the solution to what scientists and economists consider to be one of the world’s most crucial problems. Which is why we provide each of our Ambassadors with information, guidance, and tools they can use to become effective climate change influencers on social media. Our Ambassadors help publicize the GlobalConscience.World message and share educational resources any way they can.
They use their individual skills to educate others and show them what each of us can do, as individuals, to fight global warming from our own homes. Our ultimate goal is to have a worldwide network of Ambassadors who communicate with each other and who can help put pressure on corporations and governments to do what is right, because we believe the changes the world needs will happen only with the support of concerned citizens in every country. And that means every one of our Ambassadors can know he or she is not only part of the solution, but a leader in helping to create a better future for everyone.
