Executive summary
Tuvalu is extremely vulnerable to the effects of climate change with diminishing access to drinking water, threats posed by cyclones, threats posed to its fishing industry and 95% of its land predicted to be below sea level by 2100.
The island nation suffers from a small economy, relying on extensive foreign aid to combat climate change, and to overcome limited domestic economic abilities the country makes use of unique online revenues.
The main preventative measure against climate change is the Tuvalu Coastal Adaption Project, which aims to create elevated land that ensures liveable conditions despite rising sea levels.
Most notably, Tuvalu has sought international attention through its "First Digital Nation" project which aims to digitally recreate land lost to rising sea levels and preserve political institutions and cultural resources for a future Tuvaluan diaspora.
