Championing positive change on environment, education, and more.  The host for this episode is Karena Lyons. The guest for this episode is Hilda Heine, Former President.

While there are many issues facing the diverse peoples of the Pacific, there also many creative ideas for solutions born from the resourcefulness inherent in their oceanic isolation. Senator Heine is no stranger to these issues and has been a champion for positive change regarding climate and the environment, education, and women’s empowerment, to name just a few. East-West Center Insights host Karena Lyons talks with the recent Marshall Islands president about regionalism, education, women in government, climate, and the upcoming renegotiation of the Compact of Free Association.
