  • Welcome to another insightful episode of Impact!. This week, we delve into the pressing issues facing the small Pacific nation of Kiribati as it approaches its critical general elections later this month. We consider the complexities of Kiribati's geopolitical alignments, particularly its diplomatic shift from Taiwan to China, and the nation's existential battle against climate change. Kiribati, comprising 33 coral islands, faces severe challenges from rising sea levels and water security, posing a threat to its very existence. The upcoming elections will determine the country's future direction amidst political turbulence, economic struggles, and international relations intricacies involving major powers, notably the USA, China, and Australia. As always, we consider especially where we might home in with our intentions and prayers. Suggested intention focus For Kiribati, climate change is not just an urgent priority to take steps toward; it is imminently existential. Accessing international aid to mitigate against this has proved very difficult. We therefore suggest holding as our main focus for intention this week: We will that all who have influence upon the Green Climate Fund grant allocation will have wisdom and an urgent will to streamline the grant application processes so that countries like Kiribati can more quickly be considered for and receive vital funds to help offset the existential challenge of climate change. Please join us in holding this.
