Drastic measures…

Glad to hear I wasn’t the only one who had to dive to an atlas to find out where Kiribati is. However, it did lead to the discovery of this fascinating titbit in Wikipedia.

As sea levels continue to rise, the government of Kiribati is negotiating a deal with Fiji to evacuate the entire population to areas of Fiji that the Kiribati government would buy. The area of Fiji proposed for resettlement is the second largest Fijian island of Vanua Levu. The mass migration is expected to include younger, skilled workers first, and then the rest of the population would follow over a period of years.
