Tony de Brum was a real warrior. During his life, he led the Marshall Islands towards the independence from the United States, and tirelessly advocated for nuclear disarmament and climate-change negotiations. In words of Marshall Islands President, Hilda Heine, “The very existence of the Paris Agreement owes a lot to Tony de Brum […]. He was a giant of history, a legend in every meaning of the word, and a custodian of our shared future.”
