Staff from New Zealand's Otago Museum will travel to Tonga this week to enhance local knowledge about the climate crisis.

The museum's Craig Grant says the Far From Frozen exhibition will be taken to schools with the aim of introducing some of the science behind climate change and its effects in the islands.

He tells Christine Rovoi these include sea-level rise, extreme weather events and the bleaching of coral reefs.
