While policymakers and scientists argue about how much - or how little - to reduce greenhouse gas emissions over the next decades, there are others who wonder if they have a future at all.

For seven million people living on thousands of islands scattered across the Pacific, global warming is not something which looms in the distant future: it's a threat whose very real effects have already begun. Through personal stories of Pacific Islanders - fisherman, elders, scientists and farmers - RISING WATERS puts a human face on the international climate change debate.
