Tuvalu climate change

Tuvalu, a small island nation in the Pacific Ocean, is significantly threatened by climate change due to rising sea levels. As global temperatures increase, polar ice melts and ocean waters expand, causing coastal areas to flood. Tuvalu's highest point is only about 4.5 meters above sea level, making it particularly vulnerable. This rising water can lead to loss of land, freshwater contamination, and displacement of residents. As a result, Tuvalu is actively advocating for international climate action to reduce emissions and support vulnerable communities adapting to these challenges.
