By 2100, 95% of Tuval territory, including the capital of Funafuti, could be flooded, UN predicted.
Residents of the State of the island of Tuvalu in the Pacific Ocean have a huge plan to move to Australia because of the risk of flooding. This was announced the day before the NHK channel.
It is indicated that the number of people who want to receive a visa in Australia exceeds 5 thousand people, and it is about half of Tuval’s total population, which is about 11 thousand. Therefore, the Australia government leading the schedule has completed the receipt of applications for 2026.
The possibility of transition appeared after the 2023 of the Intergovernmental Agreement between Australia and Tuval in cooperation in the field of security and movement. This document provides for a quota for 280 people a year, which will be selected randomly within the plot of the lottery to those who want to move.
Those who choose the lottery will receive the right to live in Australia with a status that provides the opportunity to work legally, study and use the healthcare system. The final list of Australia’s new residents will develop until January 2026.
Most of Tuvalu’s territory is five atolls and four islands rising less than two meters above the ocean. The UN predicts that by 2100, 95% of Tuval territory, including the capital of Funafuti, it may flood.
Earlier it was reported that the surface temperature of the ocean since 2019 were defeat records. Superior gases delay heat in the environment, and this leads to an imbalance.
In addition, global bleaching of coral reefs covers 84% of their area – this is the worst indicator in the history of observations.
