Village Space Presentation-Climate Change (Issue:Kiribati)

Kirabati is a country which is being affected by the worldwide issue of Global Warning.

What was the issue about?
The island of Kirabati is slowly drowning along with many other islands.

What is causing the issue?
The Green house gases that are being emitted when fossil fuels are used are causing the earth to become warmer. This is resulting in the melting of the ice in Antarctica and the Arctic Circle, causing sea levels to rise and submerge small islands. Kirabati is one of the islands in which the sea is submerging more and more each year.

Who is affected?
Due to this issue the people of Kirabati are losing their homes. Many of these people are becoming refugees in other countries so they can escape their island before all of it disappears.
Kirabati isn't the only island experiencing this issue. Their many pacific nations being affected by this issue.

What can be done?
To stop Global Warming people can:
  • Use solar energy/solar panels
  • Hydro-powered energy can be used
  • Wind Turbines can be used
  • Educate people about the issue, so that they know how to help
  • Reduce the amount of fossil fuels used
  • Don't use electricity unnecessarily
