Me and my son Iosefa

Hi, my name is Rikamati Naare from Kiribati. I’m 35 years of age and currently work as a Journalist/Broadcaster for Radio Kiribati within the Broadcasting and Publications Authority (BPA).

I produce a weekly radio program called ‘Kiribati On Air’ for Radio Kiribati which basically covers current news affairs particularly in the area of Climate Change.

I’m currently in Melbourne attending APJC’s Reporting Climate Change workshop that would hopefully boost my journalism skills on reporting one the main pressing issues (Climate Change) that is threatening the very way of life of I-Kiribati people.

I have been working as a Radio Journalist for more than 6 years now.
