Climate Change in Kiribati

Case study of the Island of Abaiang

The village of Tebunginako on the island of Abaiang is a barometer for what Kiribati can expect in the future. The community has had to relocate due to the effects of severe coastal erosion and saltwater intrusion. Theses impacts are already felt on the atolls of Kiribati and will be exacerbated by the effects of climate change.
