Kiribati, the first country to disappear due to climate change

Kiribati stretches for 3.5 million kilometers in the Pacific Ocean, but a large part of the population is concentrated in southern Tarawa. It is one of the most densely populated countries in the world.

"We have a relatively stable climate for the moment, but a change in the weather that pushes us to the hurricane belt, which could wipe us off the map "Anote Tong, president of Kiribati, told the BBC.

Tong is campaigning with the international community to finance development, allowing Kiribati to weather climate change and move its population elsewhere in case the sea devours the islands. Australia and New Zealand look like candidates.

As reported by Environmental NewsThe main problems are the supply of food, water and sanitary facilities in sufficient quantity.

Although it's raining with predictable regularity, the tanks needed to collect rainwater are scarce.

Much of the population depends on underground aquifers, a series of horizontal natural channels filled with rainwater.
