Kiribati is an island nation in the Pacific. The state territory extends over a large number of islands in Micronesia and Polynesia, which are scattered over a wide area north and south of the equator. The easternmost of the Line Islands (Caroline Island) has been called “Millennium Island” since January 1, 2000, because the first sunrise of the 3rd millennium could be observed on this island.
Most of the country is less than two meters above sea level. This makes Kiribati one of the first countries that will largely sink into the sea as a result of climate change.

Kiribati: South Tarawa
South Tarawa is the name of the capital of Kiribati , more than half of the population of Kiribati live in the capital. Unfortunately, climate change and especially the rising sea level can already be seen here. It’s even worse in the small atolls in the neighborhood, which is why many Kiribati residents are fleeing to the capital.
