Country That Will Soon Disappear

This book is a Weekend Pocketbook on Everything You Should Know About the First Country Relocating Due to Climate Change, the story of Tuvalu and the rising sea that threatens to redraw the meaning of nationhood. We explore what happens when a country's land, culture, law, and future are all placed on the front line of climate change. What happens to a nation when the ocean starts taking its territory?We begin in Tuvalu, a Pacific island country of three reef islands and six atolls, where the sea can be seen from both sides of a single narrow road.
We explore why rising seas, sinking land, king tides, saltwater intrusion, failing crops, empty fisheries, and climate anxiety have made a climate disaster a certainty. The book explores Tuvalu's fight to remain more than a symbol of loss. We discuss the Falepili Union with Australia, new migration pathways, geopolitical competition in the Pacific, and the harder question of whether powerful countries are doing anything about it.
Is there any hope left for Tuvalu? Turns out, Tuvalu is not giving up without a fight.
