Kiribati and climate change

Kiribiti is a coral atoll , it contains 33 islands and around 100,000 people live there.
The average hieght above sea level is 2m.

What are some of the issues?

  • Overpopulation and sustainability, rising sea levels and climate change will occur before 2030.
  • Climate change will be caused by global warming and the rising sea levels.
  • The country cant grow much fresh produce because plants won't grow in the salty water.
  • As the times goes on there are more and more storms occuring and they are becoming quite violent and are starting to eat away at the island.
  • Lack of fresh water supply.
