Who is responsible for climate refugees? Part – II

Tuvalu, Kiribati, and the Maldives are suffering from the devastating effects of climate change. Experts predict that these countries will be underwater by 2050. Internal displacement is not an option for them, as the entire country is in danger of being submerged. The importance of the issue may be demonstrated by the fact that the Tuvaluan government is considering suing Australia and the United States for their contribution to climate change. As a result, it is the world's lowest-lying nation and is most vulnerable to climate impacts, even though its contribution to greenhouse gas emissions is negligible compared to those two wealthy nations. Given that most of Tuvalu's population lives on the coast, rising sea levels and violent storms would have a dramatic impact on its population of 10,050. (Wafa Batool)
