Ulu Pio Tuia, has been at the U.N. to speak to the Committee on Decolonization about Tokelau’s status with regards to securing greater self-determination.
Tuia said Tokelau wants to reduce its dependence on expensive imported fuels:
“We rely very much on solar, the situation in Tokelau is that we always have the sunlight right throughout the year and also we are looking at the possibility of biofuel out of coconuts,” he said.
Tuia also plans to highlight Tokelau’s vulnerability to climate change and request help to complete sea walls to protect the three low lying atolls.
