Climate Change and Its Impact on Island Nations

The video discusses the severe flooding crisis affecting island nations, emphasizing that the crisis is already underway. It highlights scientific projections indicating that islands will eventually be underwater, prompting internal relocation efforts. The policy of 'migration with dignity' is introduced, with land purchased in Fiji for potential migration. The video also underscores the disproportionate impact of climate change on small island nations, which contribute the least to its causes but face the worst consequences.
