Episode 579 The Future of Tuvalu
Manage episode 391841215 series 2948127
Global warming will submerge most of Tuvalu, but Ambassador Falefou is at the UN, mobilizing support for his country's survival. For a billion dollars or two, it is possible to raise the elevation and enable the society to continue as a sovereign country in Oceania. That is less expensive that removing the whole population to other countries, which may otherwise be necessary. The Tuvaluans plan to become the first "digital nation."
