Because of climate change, sea levels are rising and more extreme storms are happening more often ⛈️, affecting many communities and island nations like the Philippines. ivytica's Gold Award winning poem from our 2021 Ocean Awareness Contest is personal, which makes even more powerful 👊

"In Tagalog, pag-asa means hope, so I titled the poem as such because I believe that to stand united against and to triumph over climate change means continuing to choose hope," she wrote.

"After all, the world is long due for a typhoon of hope to crash against every shore." 💙 🌊
