Kiribati

Kiribati is a Pacific island nation made up of 33 atolls and reef islands, spread over a vast area of the central Pacific Ocean. Its islands are low-lying and vulnerable to sea-level rise caused by climate change. With a small population of around 120,000 people, Kiribati relies on fishing, agriculture, and aid for its economy. The country's culture is rooted in Polynesian and Micronesian traditions, and it is known for its unique island environment, including abundant marine life and beautiful beaches. Despite environmental challenges, Kiribati maintains its independence, with its government focusing on sustainability and adaptation.
