The people of Tonga, a Small Island Developing State in the Pacific, know a thing or two about living with natural disasters.

Minoru is joined in this episode by Esterlina Alipate, a Tongan trade official who currently is with the Institute for Training and Technical Cooperation at the WTO. Esterlina explains how natural disasters and climate change constitute a setback for the development efforts of her country.
