closing the airport.
Ultimately, without much
stronger action to tackle

Tony de Brum is the
Minister-in-Assistance
(Vice-President equivalent) to
the President of the Republic
of the Marshall Islands (RMI)
with responsibility for
climate and energy issues and
the former Foreign Minister.
After growing up on Likiep
Atoll during the 12-year
period when the United States
tested 67 atomic and
thermonuclear weapons in the
atmosphere and under water in
the Marshall Islands, Senator
de Brum is now fighting to
save his country from another
existential threat posed by
climate change. Senator de
Brum also played a key role in
the negotiations that led to
the first compact of free
association between the U.S.
and the RMI and his country's
independence, and participated
in the development of RMI's
Constitution. In October 2012,
Senator de Brum was awarded
the 2012 Nuclear Age Peace
Foundation's Distinguished
Peace Leader Award and in
February this year addressed a
special session of the UN
Security Council on the
threats posed by climate
change.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
