- Kiribati risks becoming the first country to lose its land territory to climate change, as sea levels rise. Supported by the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction, Kiribati's people are working to protect their islands, planting mangroves and preserving the shoreline.

We have to do something to prevent this.
Prevent what? It's been 10 years
I thought California and Florida was supposed to be underwater many years ago according to scientists! This is fake! According to scientists, the biggest factor of climate change is rising sea levels, caused by melting glaciers due to the warming atmosphere. The “most endangered” place due to climate change is Antarctica. If Antarctica is -50 to -140 degrees Fahrenheit all year around and water’s (with salt) freezing point is 28.4 degrees Fahrenheit, how can ice melt, especially if it’s packed ice (icebergs and glaciers etc)? UN giving false information and lying to everyone. Defund the UN... If this was all true (which I really doubt), I hope the Epstein Island is underwater.
@@TheBestSistersForever It's only a matter of time before it gets worse. The ice continues to melt and the sea level will always continue to rise. The reason? Global Warming. What caused it? Greenhouse gases. We need the EPA to regulate fuel fossils to prevent further sea rise.
@@ermac6466 These lies started in the 1970s they said the Maldives would be under water in 10yrs. Here we are 50yrs on and nothing has changed. But the gullible still believe anything they are told.
@@dmana3172 Nonsense
I can’t imagine living somewhere beautiful like Kiribati for my entire life but having to worry about leaving one day if I want to stay alive. :(
Please God save their island and homes.These people are so loving and caring
do you know any of them?
God save the lives, bless us all to do good deeds to save our lives and others.
Only the most sinful atoll islands will sink.
Its a climatic nature so god can't do anything...plz proceed in real world...
Came to this video after watching Katoatau’s heart moving celebreation. It was one of few moments that realizes us a true meaning of Olympic not only competition and politics. Thank you for him bring world’s attention to this reality and hope this awareness extends to global united movement protect Karibati’s happiness and furthermore our mother earth.
Thanks for this video so that others here in Europe can see what's happening not only in the Kiribati but all over the Pacific Ocean. The need to address Global warming and it's effect on every Islander in Oceania.
thats all bs
I hope to visit Kiribati before it disappears forever! Can't stop nature, no matter how hard we try, but each of us can do our part, no matter where we live.
I've been to Kiribati in the 90's via Cruiseline delivering needs and treats to the people there. Was an unspoiled beautiful small undeveloped island then with people living a truly basic bit seemingly happy existence. So sad the weather .... globally has directly hit these tropical islands. I will forever keep your islands in my heart. Thankful I was there
It was only allowed to visit through cruises then every 2 weeks. We went through Hawaiin Islands and on to Kiribati after 2 or 3 days at sea. By small boats a few passengers at a time visited for a few hours. The calm turquoise water was warm and sands white. A memory still vivid. Now at 73 I am so grateful for that opportunity
God will save you all. He loves these people as they are so heartwarming and down to earth. I am praying every day for you all when I go my altar
the united nation has been warned by some of the leaders of the Pacific islanders. of how serious and dangerous the people of the Pacific Are witnessing everyday cause by the climate change.
and the sad thing about this is that none of this changes was cause by these small islands.
and now they're witnessing themselves being a victim of a crime they never caused or commit.
Honestly, thinking about the possibility of this country and it's people to not actually exist in the future because of this, makes me somehow feel.. deeply sad...
Antarctic is melting. Unfortunately, all that water has to go somewhere. ✌️

God have mercy on all the I kiribati people
Hear their voice
Hear their cry
Have mercy on them
Love to kiribati people
What all types of measures can be taken for saving the people's livelihood?
Nature makes its path no matter whats in its way
May God be with them
Has anyone noticed the lack of sea level rise? For example, the Statue of Liberty Island sea-level is the same as the day it was commemorated
Nobody has noticed this, because it's false. Have a great day.
It's because there's no sea level rise 😂
@@--lighter-- Alright kiddo go buy some real-estate in Miami
@@RB-jl8gj If I were the kind of person who could afford it, I might buy it, but then it would mean I have shitload of money, which would also mean I'm one of you guys who are promoting this whole greenhouse effect nonsense as well as the sea level rise nonsense in which case I would support these nonsenses and not speak against them, wouldn't I?
And even than I would invest all that money to solve real island problems like overpopulation in some parts, garbage disposal, polution in general especially in South Tarawa...
Why nobody speaks about those which are real island problems?
You can politely ask UN advocates to solve those out 😅
useless comment@@RB-jl8gj
My heart goes to these young generation on kiribati. God bless you all
Is the sea rising or is the island sinking?
Isn’t that the same thing??
Honestly?
Please could I use the extract where the little girl speaks so movingly as part of some music I am writing to draw attention to the plight of Kiribati/ I will of course give due credit. Thank you Nick McCann
With the cooperation of the Nations We will save Kiribati,Marshall Islands,Vanuato,Tuvalo and Nauro😭❤
You mean they're not drowned yet??? You guys have been making these videos about kiribas for like 10 years and they're still around?????
Were you not taking notice? The sea is encroaching, they have to keep moving homes towards the central part, their houses are being wiped out. It's about the long-term that the island is estimated to be GONE in 70 yrs, obviously they've been trying to get the world to take notice for a decade. That sweet little girl in the video will have no home, no culture, no country, nothing when she's older because once you become a refugee in another country you lose it all! You become displaced from your community, family and friends and religion and culture and way of life overall.
Keep fighting Kiribati!
I am loving Kiribati❤️❤️❤️
No violence. No intoxicants. We do see pebbles and Bambam family birthmarriage. No intoxicants, no violence. We do see flintstones family polygamy. No intoxicants, no violence. We do see flintstones family monogamy. Flintstones trust. Flintstones privacy. All races ✌️. That is a very nice comment I just read, good save lives.
I do not think global warming should get any bigger. Listen to the little precious little girl in the video. That little girl asks us to do a favor even though she's working hard. So it's time for us to be careful not to have any more climate refugees. So I want you to watch this video and tell us if we're making people unhappy.
God bless them !!
US should stip using plastics even nations of the world to save kiribati greets from PH stop climate change 👍🇵🇭
That won't stop the island from sinking. The island is sinking due to the shift of the tectonic plates.
Kiribati should be rising with the Pacific Plate, but it isn’t… the water is just piling up…
Put up tens of thousands of columns of H-beam
Fill in the rocks. Hundreds of millions of tons of concrete are poured. And it covers ocher soil and builds a new house on it. The problem is the enormous cost.
Thank You.❤🧡💛💚💙💜🙏
I Hope someone is looking at these Irreplaceable Islands, Dubi seems to have some people familiar with Island Building
did planting the mangrove help
It’s a dream to think an island in the middle of the ocean is immune from the changes the earth has gone through since the Dawn of time.
Relocation is inevitable over time.
Save Our Planet
Don't worry, it is just a bit of sand.with some rich UN people's houses on it.
That case (Kiribati sinking) was brought to attention first by Stephany Zreik (The Weather Channel Earth News, Oct 19, 2020).
@@DataJYdocs This was a storm surge, the Island is fine now.
I feel World powers need to do more. This ain't about the first person to go green but actually saving this planet collective by changing a few of our way of life.
Can they stop financing wars and ethnic cleansing and actually focus on helping countries like this.
We can't do it alone but we can make greater stride working together.
We can lower ocean-levels by opening subsea-level areas in Sahara to seas.
Egypt planned to do that years ago but never went ahead as it was deemed to expensive
@@DUBxLORD It can be done with renewal of world. I talked with Mubarak, and Gaddafi in 2009, and there are plans to moment when new Monarch takes power.
I always say this .That man has to use lands and dig down deep and make small seas so the oceans would have less water and in a way places would not be flooded
Please suggest this to the developed nations
That just sounds like a pretty much crazy idea!!!!! If to solve a problem we have to create another its not a solution!!
We have to put all our efforts in susteinable enviromental measures that s the future...no giant projects that changes the nature of our planet
We should take climate change much more seriously
I dont think its climate change i think its the sea itself if it was climate change that island would be in the sea rn
@@Thejigglerofjiggs78902 yea and since they are the first to see the sunrise Im thinking that plays a part
Your a sheep thats brainwashed. Ive been 20 years fishing the surf same place, same rock. no change whatsoever
Kiribati i will miss you
Very informative, thank you. I didn't realise that there were 33 islands stretching over 2,000 Km along the equator. Of those there are a handful in Tarawa that are so populated that it is among the highest density in the world. On Betio, 23,000 people living on 1.7 sq miles. Something has to be done to control the over-population. Kiritimati is the largest atoll in the world, a completely deserted part of Kiribati compared to this video. There is no climate change in those other islands either, well no sea level rise.
Kevin Smith, you may well be aware that Kiritimati is located in the same ocean as the rest of Kiribati. So feel free to control your own population, while fighting against climate change, which is a global problem.
@@RB-jl8gj Yes, I have been to a number of those islands. The islands with the issues are the over-populated ones. Betio has 11,000 per sq Km, and the Maldives about 17,000. Singapore is about 8,000. I don't see climate change as the problem.
@@kevinsmith467 You are aware that if the ocean rises enough to cover the islands, whether there are 100,000 inhabitants or 5,000, the problem is fundamentally the same ?
@@kevinsmith467 And I'm assuming that when you talk about population control, you're offering to give free land and subsistance to the actual living people of these islands in your own country ?
@@RB-jl8gj No, that would be a bad assumption. I didn't mean that. I was involved in a relocation programme within Kiribati. Moving people to less densely populated islands.
we need something right now
they should resettle on a much bigger island or the mainland, no one can survive long on such a tiny island. keep in mind the earth is always changing and always has been.
Okay well,Dear
Start the help these family.and make it a beautiful place to have fun.
From which these families can earn foreign exchange.
What do you think?
Kiribati must be saved. If for nothing less than their beautiful flag 🇰🇮
Why cant massive countries with land not being used , draw up new land for these countries, like russia give Netherlands a replica land space , india draw up Kiribati land , and so on
This solution has been talked about for a long time. I'm pretty sure there is an island in Fiji that has been already set aside for this, but the Kiribati people don't want to leave their homes and land. Who would! The logistics of moving a nation would be a nightmare in and of itself. If at all possible moving a nation should be avoided...
Why can't we try installing purification plant kind of thing there?
It might sound crazy. But if we give a try by placing Heat generating equipment, gradually Water can be evaporated/purified and attempt to save fellow beings and Nation can be done.
Kiribati won't sink under water. Its tech ideas use it and you shall solve the problem. Land raise reclamation is key to kiribati problem: Just remove top soil fill it with deep sea sand and than built walls and mangrove walls around...Kiribati has the biggest ocean in the Pacific and they have no problem at all.
Haha okay. So easy. Well maybe you should tell them the solution and dew it.
Do something UN 🙏🙏 We will raise funds... Oh pls.. 😞
Exactly, the main pusher of climate change telling us islands are sinking but they do nothing to help.
And the islands aren't sinking, it's sand erosion.
I think if we can shift stones and soil to this island maybe we will save it
Drought and too much rain?
why not plant mangrooves
the solution is simple: move. Humans are not plants, but animals. Animals can move in space by contracting muscles.
This makes it an even greater "must visit" destination. The immediacy SHOULD ensure that intending tourists put Kiribati right at the top of the priority list, before it becomes completely submerged and they miss the opportunity that presents itself at the moment. Also, with sufficient funding from nations (I'm thinking of New Zealand perhaps), the political government of the day should look to future development of the main island groups as potential, modern underwater village or city concept models by getting Auckland and Wellington architects, civil engineers and students to work on plans straight away. NZ could sell the concept internationally. And just think what a tourist mecca these islands could be by constructing such a mammoth (and still quite unique) viable underwater nation that would be able to employ ALL of those islanders there for a very long time. An above surface airport facility wouldn't be required, as the tourists could simply be brought in by submarine (so as to enhance the vacation adventure) or by cruise ships which could launch the passengers wearing scuba gear into the water, to dive and swim to the underwater reception chambers. Just imagine. The possibilities are almost limitless.
you've got quite an imagination there.... but a project that size couldn't be tackled by NZ... or Oz either... maybe the Chinese could do it... best thing for the islands that are being invaded by the ocean is to build them up. most are atop of extinct volcanic peaks and wont sink or wash away if decent retaining walls are built and sand pumped in... could probably build the islands up 20m over time. sure would cost a lot less than an underwater island... NZ could "maybe" afford that... China's got a few sand pumping barges for hire.
personally i think the world will turn it's back on these islands and say "it's easier to relocate than rebuild"... and the good old "it's not my problem. i'm not getting wet".
meanwhile NSW govt is considering moving the town of Lismore at enormous cost coz years ago some dill thought building on flood areas was a good idea... they spent $millions on a flood levy that ultimately failed... happens everywhere... people want to live next to rivers but don't like getting flooded... i prefer living above flood level myself.
@@AVportau You're almost too sensible for me to respond to AVportau, but I will. Firstly, Darn! Just when I was already planning out what I'd do with those millions (in kind) I'd be paid for coming up with such a fantastic concept! Perhaps Hollywood might throw me some free movie passes if I put the concept to them. Secondly, I actually agree with you, in that once smaller land masses such as islands appear to no longer be habitable for most people to live on, then they should grab what they can and abandon ship. It's not like Nauru, where all that eroded away was a short-term, viable bird poop resource. The best thing is that various nations can still send ambassadors and even governors in, to assist with the departure, and they'd still receive a handsome salary. And by not sinking completely, they can probably still hold their sovereignty status, even if only a monarch or some other symbolic dignitary remains, housed in a bathtub or on a rubber tyre inner, donning wetsuit, snorkel and flippers. That would still give the nation voting rights at the UN, I guess.
@@blakeknightandco3828 yes, they need occupation to claim sovereignty or it may be claimed abandoned.
UN would still recognise Kiribati if they relocated. the govt structure would still exist.
i would think China is sitting back waiting for Kiribati to give up on the west ever saving them and sell out cheap. it's not really of any strategic worth now that China have the Solomon Islands on side.
i couldn't imagine living on low lying areas that will have issues with storm surge during average storms. even if they were 5m above sea level their coasts would be topped by even larger waves at times.
is climate change a factor with more storms and greater intensity? probably.
@@AVportau Agreed AVportau. So many cheap sovereignty deals are up for grabs, especially around the flood prone and sea level rise regions around the Pacific/Indo-Pacific region. Man, if I were as rich as the People's Republic of China, I'd probably snap one up myself. Sort of like a sovereignty/vote bank investment. Perhaps I'd bring an army division and navy detachment following a quietly and well rehearsed uprising if the sea levels didn't rise quick enough, so as to boot out any monarchs and cronies who refused to budge, and any lords and nobles who failed to see cents (and dollars). The possibilities are limitless right now. Cheers.
@@blakeknightandco3828 once immigration is established, many small nations can be overrun legally... Fiji is an example of how India took over just through majority population and winning the vote.
Solomon's will probably go the same way with China.
I support United Nations.

Don't only ask Australia to help you. Let each wealthy country around the world take some 5000 of them as immigrants and abandon this island which you should have not inhabited in the first place....
CHINA AND U.S. PLEASE LESSEN THE CARBON EMISSIONS
Oh my god😕😔
Do you realise where this island is located - it shouldn’t even exist in the first place
True, it was fine in the post war years. It is now that we are seeing 23,000 people trying to live on the old airfield at Betio that we have the problem. There are 33 islands in the group and the country is twice the size of Texas. Unfortunately most of that is sea. Kiribati is 13% larger than Singapore. Meanwhile, the population of Singapore is ~6.2 million people (6.1 million fewer people live in Kiribati).

What are those big green things?
Coastal erosion not climate change 🤣
Exactly.
That is... literally climate change. Not necessarily human-made, but that is the climate changing.
Okay, prove it.
These islands should never have formed then, if that was the case.
They have been around for tens of thousands of years, don’t you think the sea should have prevented their formation if erosion was this strong?

they do nothing and make more and more trash, and again do nothing
They are fighting a losing battle you cannot stop to see from rising it will continue if they stay they die simple as that land has already been purchased in Tahiti so shut up and just move holding on to a sinking ship
Is Kiritimati affected. The US research island of Palmyra is just 120 miles from Kiribati territory, what are the 18 scientists there saying about the sea level rise ?
hold hand with china and china will change it -_-
china is fast and help fast -_-
its really the only way -_-
send alot of dessert sand over there
That Won't be any help. If anyone does that, the wave will just go over it, there used to be walls, They are broken now. Because the wave got stronger and stronger then got over it. You see, this is an emergency, China doesn’t have anything to do with it. Someone NEEDS to make a move. Or that country, with nice, heartwarming, kind people, will face consequences.
