Fight not flight: Kiribati opts to fortify its defences against rising seas rather than flee to Fiji

Update: 2024-09-17

Description

Kiribati is a picturesque, Pacific Island nation struggling to survive. It's one of the lowest-lying countries in the world and climate change is threatening its very existence. Migrating all its people to a plot of land on nearby Fiji had been an option. Teresa Tang asks CNA's Jack Board why that’s been put aside in this episode.
