The situation of Tuvalu perfectly defines the injustice of climate change: the least polluting country is among the most affected by global warming.
Because of its low average height above sea level, Tuvalu is a victim of the lack of boundaries of global warming: emissions of other countries directly affect others.
Tuvalu also suffered Cyclone Pam and is a candidate to sink because of global warming, which makes its authorities very demanding with the Kyoto Protocol compliance.
Territory composition: Four coral reefs, five atolls and three islands in the Pacific Ocean
Capital: Funafuti Population: 9,876 inhabitants in 2013
What options do the Tuvaluans have in the long term? Many of the locals seem to have left for educational or economic opportunities rather than because of fears of climate change. Most seem to cling to a hope that the seas will stop advancing someday and that their children, and children’s children, will remain.“If we move away, we lose our way of life — our customs will vanish completely.”, said the Tuvaluan.
