Interesting perspective!


I am currently living in Kiribati and researching the country's ability to manage climate change adaptation (including migration). The reality here is that people have no where else to go, after having already moved from outer island to the main island South Tarawa. The narrow strip of land cannot support the amount of people currently here (which is growing), nor can the thin, calcareous soil feed its people adequately. The general lack of education means that migration is only a solution for very few individuals (under current agreement with New Zealand). So what happens to the rest of the population that is too poor and unskilled to move if-and-when it become necessary?

This is a question I've been asking myself, but without the eloquence of this post.

Thank you for putting it out there!
