Kiribati: The President's Dilemma (short)

The Pacific islands of Kiribati were among the last places to be colonized by humans. But now, because of rising sea levels, they may be among the first to be abandoned. Should Kiribati President Anote Tong surrender to climate change and evacuate? Can anything be done to help him buy more time?

I wish I could visit this country, talk to the lovely local people, and with my small contribute, try to help this nation.

It's very Heart aching to see our fellow islanders struggle with Global Warming. I come from the islands of Chuuk in the Federates States of Micronesia. We may have some mountainous islands but we also have people living on the low lying atolls. Imagine an ice cream cone flipped upside down. That is how my island is. Every villages are on the shore there fore we have also encountered Global Warming. My family's sea wall is unfinished & breaking from waves. My family home used to be how many feets away from the waters. Now it's only few inches away. Our taro's are dying!

What about artificially expanding the size of the island ... like Dubai’s palm jumaira island

[@Smokaholic686]

We would but we're a 3rd world country mate, where do you think we'll get that kind of money to be able to start and complete a project like that?

it is heart aching to see a neighboring island state in a serious condition due to climate change

[@loveneo89]

this problem is severe.... it not only triggers displacement, but food shortage, loss of livelihood.... so much porblems, less solutions... i was touched by the situation, i really liked to help... but i don't know where and how to start....

[@jameslanyon4953]

Stop talking about the problem....Make plans for relocation,...to Fiji,Aust or NZ...UN will fund the whole works.

It's disheartening to see the reality of climate change on Kiribati.
