Ursula Rakova is an environmentalist and climate change activist from Papua New Guinea. In 2008, she received the Pride of PNG award for her environmental contributions to the development of her country. As Executive Director of the not-for-profit organisation Tulele Peisa, she is responsible for organising the relocation of the inhabitants of the Carteret Islands to the mainland of Bougainville Province. The islands are expected to be uninhabitable by 2040, rendering Rakova’s people the world’s first climate refugees. In 2005, Ursula established a community schooling system in Bougainville as an alternative to the failed public school system. She coordinated a landmark legal case whereby the Warangoi successfully sued illegal loggers and won compensation for their stolen forest resource. Ursula also established Bougainville Cocoa Net Limited to assist relocated Carteret Islanders with opportunities to produce fair trade cocoa.
