On d. W. News. Ok. On. Its load time i dont talat the mine at all of the island nation of killing last. Time turned his three sons in just a few hours before the water returns. And when little again there are no stones on the beach anymore and thats why we have to go far out we need to get coral because the sea is flooding our house that is. The home of tina turner and his family in. Twelve is under threat ten years ago they started building a wall made of coral. That yeah. Yeah were over there when the water comes all the way up to here and theres a strong wind thats when its worst and the water bashes against our wall and sprays over our whole house we have to build a higher wall so the water doesnt flood our home. You know if they already. Know that you know that youve got. And what are you that i work in the past our wall kept breaking because it was only this high now its higher and more stable it protects us from the sea many walls collapse at high tide but were lucky it was Still Standing or you know you gotta get. In to get them back. In just thirty years tartars wall could cease to offer any protection from the sea. And. The island state to carry bass is one of the lowest lying countries on earth the narrow unprotected atolls in the South Pacific are on average only two metres above sea level the nation consists of thirty three such atolls spread out between hawaii and australia more than half its hundred thousand residents live on the tunnel at all but for how much longer. Climate change is threatening the people of kid of us sea levels are rising storm surges and severe tropical storms are flooding the sparsely populated country with increasing frequency. For the locals its a question of survival. Climate change has National Priority for the government to carry vast choice eating has been the official Climate Commission a since twenty ten hes alarmed by the changes caused by Climate Change. It is warning that you know the community has to live in these conditions you know. I would imagine you know there would be a lot of us annotation problems a lot of contamination of their drink of water. Right now we we dont really have. A king tide you know or you know a rising sea no there will it there during this period but imagine when it does come you know and and that little sea wall there is is is is fully you know submerged by by by water. One day the people of carey bass will have to leave their country the government has already purchased land on fiji to provide them with refuge. I mean of all the. Every day to talent his three brothers have to carry their fishing boat into the sea its hard work. You know get it about as you can see this area is flooded all this from here to all the way back there used to be beach now the beach is gone and the rocks are washed up thats why we have to move our boat every day otherwise it would get smashed. And the family defies the rising sea levels with a coral wall that resembles a fortress. But even with that the water is rising and rising eventually the land over there will disappear but will stay and float like an island in the water. And i think i. Just tower and his family have become a symbol of kerry basss fight for survival his mother tyrant her granddaughter and i often reminisce about the times before they were affected by Climate Change. The day and. Twenty years ago the sea was far away we were safe back then even at high tide the water only reached this far we used to have a lot of trees our land was much greener we had no idea wed have to live like this wind and wake up. The access road has been flooded for years the family can only leave their property by boat. And. So on then when i was little life here was really good there were lots of trees under which we played hide and seek i have heard that other countries are causing Climate Change but i dont hate those people. And they are by. The way i see it differently the western countries are doing many things to cause Climate Change theyre to blame. Can do is ask them to stop. The sea is being creasing me devouring unprotected tracts of land in the middle of the South Pacific and. You know what adi this isnt a safe place for the future when we have a high tide and a big storm the water smashes into the sea wall and. Braze over the top. During storm surges which occur once a month these days the people who carry bass are completely defenseless against the forces of nature. And im scared that the water will continue to rise maybe well have to leave here one day and live elsewhere if Climate Change gets worse. Among gro forest in the south of tire a while there knots of thin strong roots make these tropical trees the perfect protection against soil erosion. With a group of young People Climate activist. Wants to plant mangroves on the beach and ambo during low tide i dont. Buy it they will plant fifteen rows. But. If the one of the i havent got to go you have to plant the mangroves a hands with the part. Of the city has been organizing a growing number of such volunteer planting events. Ok these are the seeds from the mangroves and we pick them up and then this other wise that we use to plant them and then they go again we think green case gets when we planted them the west will come in maybe two will be flooded away at least one will stay and be and will leave so thats why we take three all the time. The people of toronto have already planted more than fifty thousand mangroves on the beaches of the out on the. Young people here of grown up with Climate Change theyre scared and. In the dining room right now you know. She will rise in this area. Imported. Back line effect while i live here. And i just dont want to see my island get drunk or have a c. Is in my village where i live goes on like this but by this. The future prospects for kerry bass is young people are dying but none of them want to leave their home. Im still proud to be a kid is just in the world we basically distilled down to the country which like this is where we belong its all culture oh identity thats why i think this is where our hearts with all. The hope is that these mangroves on ambo beach will grow into a forest like the one that helps defy storm surges in the south of town on. Protecting the coastline has become a National Priority for the people of kerry but theres no coherent plan and the government lacks the funds for long term infrastructure missions. Those who can afford concrete have built a wall in their own expense thats what it in women with has done the young entrepreneur from the village of tub or air. I think Climate Change will only get worse in the future it one day will drown when other people think differently but im scared by whats happening we have to protect ourselves thats why were building the seawall that this is how i want it when they got there. The sea is calm today but its only a matter of time before the next storm surge arrives. Home to around. Sixty thousand people more than half the countrys entire population. Livable land is becoming increasingly sparse says climate activist in a city. Compared to ten years ago in our case like this people stayed in their home but nowadays the people who migrate from there for a Better Future became afraid to go away for it and. It ended up like this one the closely to each other. In addition to Climate Change overpopulation is one of the biggest problems on talent. He says is easily passed from one person to another and especially with the future of their kids the government ever limits resource it cant employ each and every one of them on average a family here has five to six children almost every square metre of land on tara has now been built on the main thing that is threatening us is the Sea Level Rise we have plenty of ocean taking most of the land then people try whatever they have to build seawalls but it doesnt help when the water now no one can stop the water it just comes and then take away all the lands again. In twenty fourteen the effects of Global Warming on kerry bass attracted international attention. Made a bid to become the worlds first Climate Change refugee when he applied for asylum in new zealand. So that the government of new zealand didnt recognise Climate Change as grounds for asylum they didnt think that the people of curie bars were threatened by nature and forced to flee as a result. In his family were deported from new zealand a year later even though the situation in their home country has been getting progressively worse. It was a shock for the family. And what scares me is that our land is now lying around it by the ceiling and its being washed away all round us and them. Below honor and his family have moved in with his sister but they dont see a future for themselves on caribe us yes you can love me my biggest worry is my children i want them to be safe we dont want to wait until the end while many people criticize me for trying to be a Climate Change refugee saying im talking my country down but i want to leave again it doesnt matter where we live. It will survive with us.

Climate activist of our city is also working to combat the salinisation of Drinking Water. Here. Ive. No idea never mind about some time same water flows into my well and floods it all the dirt gets when we have no water to drink. It will no longer stand out among. Our groundwater used to be fresh and clean we could drink it today its salty and unpalatable. And if the wells near the sea are flooded quite regularly and become spoiled by the salt if we were to wash with that water it feel like washing in seawater a minute but. The salinity of Water Supplies isnt the only problem supplying clean Drinking Water is another challenge village representatives present their solutions. We opted for this solar power to make it work we need equipment such as pipes to pump the well water to the houses. Are when. We get the one about we thought about what would be the best solution for everyone thats why we chose a desalination plant. But i guess we need a hand pump to supply ourselves with water in that. You suggested a number of ideas its important that the solution is cheap and will work for a long time. Yeah i mean. Were going to lay out all of your criteria on the floor here. Which solution will win the village delegates are asked to vote thats an important part of the process says kerry cans Australian Development aid worker robert kane were not in this process were going to lead us to a project its really just getting people to think about the kinds of things the question they should be asking when confronted with a new project or dont bring in the community theres not much export that comes out of three of us so theres no foreign income coming in which is difficult because often need the materials and the money and i think you need some money to break the dependency cycle.
