COPE and the UN
I am honoured to share that COPE, the children’s book series that I have been illustrating for several years, has been highlighted by António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, during a recent visit to Tonga. Mr Guterres joined forces with the World Meteorological Organization and METService to raise awareness about the #StateofClimate and the critical need for #EarlyWarningsForAll, particularly in the Pacific Islands. On the frontline of #ClimateChange, these islands face immense challenges from natural hazards and disasters.
