The Pacific island nation of Tuvalu is facing existential threats from rising sea levels, prompting an unprecedented plan to relocate much of its population.
Over 80% of Tuvalu's citizens have applied for a new 'climate visa' to Australia, made possible by the landmark Falepili Union Treaty. This agreement allows up to 280 Tuvaluans per year to gain permanent residency in Australia, offering a lifeline as their homeland risks becoming uninhabitable within decades. The migration marks the first time an entire country is planning for mass relocation due to climate change.
The move raises urgent questions about climate justice, cultural preservation, and the future of other vulnerable nations.
