Teodora Čakarmiš worked for the Delegation of Palau at UNESCO. Palau is an island nation in the West Pacific comprised of 250 islands with a population of 21,000. Its economy relies on tourism, crafts, construction and fishing. Palau is threatened by climate change effects like ocean warming and acidification which damage coral reefs and fisheries. The delegation aims to represent Small Island Developing States and establish partnerships to address these issues. Teodora's responsibilities included office management, outreach to form new partnerships, and organizing events around issues like climate change negotiations and ocean protection.
