At Oxfam we believe all lives are equal and no-one should live in poverty.
We join forces with people who share this belief, to empower communities to build better lives for themselves.
That’s why we are there on the ground, not only to save lives in times of crisis, but also to develop lasting solutions.
Our work spans wide because there are many causes of poverty. That’s why we’re also in front of decision-makers, governments and corporations, and speak out on the big issues.
Together we are tackling poverty by changing minds, systems and lives.

Oxfam, you should be ashamed of yourselves - THE SEA LEVELS ARE NOT RISING. All the current data show that this is the case. Global warming is a myth, climate change possibly, but that is a different kettle of fish.
no mention of the Chinese economy which emits the equivalent of Australia's entire annual CO2 emissions every 2 weeks ..... 2022 China 11.4 billion tons, Australia 2022 485 million tons
If you believe that there is a climate crisis then you are brainwashed Sea level has not moved Temperatures have stayed the same, and the powers that be do not like to admit this. I have a Greenpeace tomb from 1968 it predicted that sea levels would rise meters and temperatures would rise to the point that life on earth would be impossible all this nonsense should have occurred in 1996, so 28 years later they still spout out the same doom and gloom, to keep the donations rolling that they can live this perfect lifestyle saving humanity from itself, They should use their effort to condemn the USA for all the trouble that it causes in its own interest.
Look, global rising sea level is not the issue for islands. I have been visiting the same coastal areas along the Australian coast for the last 60 years. Australia is a reasonably stable continental mass & it's sea level has not changed in all that time. The pacific Islands on the other hand are formed by volcanics associated with plate tectonics. Oceanic plate drift carries the islands away from the volcanic hot spot that formed them. You can see the evidence on a map, chains of islands arcing away from the volcanic hot spot. As the sea floor drifts the islands away from the hotspot it also sinks in depth, lowering the islands into the sea. This is an inevitable geological process that has nothing to do with climate change. It's just volcanic and plate tectonic hot spots raise the sea floor & as the sea floor moves away from the hotspot, it sinks deeper below the sea. Look it up, look at the mid Atlantic ridge for example, this is a very long major up-welling of the mantle, which then cools and moves away from the up-welling, causing the sea floor to sink deeper as it moves further away from the up-welling. These are global scale geological processes that have been occurring for many millions of years. There is no stopping it, people just have to keep moving to survive. It's why animals have legs, wings and flippers. Get used to it!
As usual, no evidence is provided to us to check these disinformation claims out for ourselves. I see the sun rise every day and set every day, been doing this for millions of years. And will continue to do so for millions of years. First it was claimed in the 1970s that we were heading into another ice age, then this became global warming, then when the evidence did not support warming, it became climate change. Lady, climate never stays the same, it is always changing, and always will. These doom mongers scaring every one, and putting their hand out for donations - modern version of snake oil salesmen. No thank you lady, I am guessing this lady is a paid actor repeating lines someone else wrote for her.
if the Pacific Nations are so concerned, why are they pressuring Australia which contributes 1.5% to CO2 emissions and ignoring China's 30% emissions ???? ...an why doesn't Oxfam pressure China ???
It would be cheaper if every dollar spent on the futile ideological quest to change the climate by 1 degree was spent on adaption to change instead these Islands wouldn't have a problem. The sea level rising 3mm per year gives us plenty of time, instead of the decade or 2 the alarmists are giving us.
Try talking to China and India before hitting out at Australia. We are not the ones causing any problems - if there is a problem, and scientific evidence shows that there is a lot of misinformation surrounding climate change, get your facts correct please, else you will look like an idiot!!
What a load of absolute rubbish - this SCAM is all about money (and this is a classic example) and power. Not one bit of empirical evidence to support any of the claims in this video.
