Abstract

Nauru, a small island nation facing the threat of rising sea levels and floods due to climate change, is selling citizenships to raise funds for relocating its population and developing new infrastructure. The initiative aims to generate revenue through passport sales to finance the Higher Ground Initiative, which seeks to protect the nation from the impacts of climate change. Despite facing challenges in securing funding for adaptation initiatives, Nauru is taking proactive steps to ensure its future sustainability in the face of environmental threats.
