The country is flooded by the sea and more than 600 communities will be forced to relocate! According to global network news, global warming in recent years has led to rising sea levels, and many villages in the Pacific island country of Fiji have been submerged, and many people have had to embark on the road to leave their homes.
For example, in the village of Tugoru on Viti Levu, Fiji's largest island, whenever the tide rises, the sea water will all pour into the village, directly flooding the village. According to Fijian government statistics, it is estimated that more than 600 communities may be forced to relocate in the future, including 42 villages seriously threatened by the sea. Once these villagers are relocated, they face livelihood problems.
Currently, half of Fijians depend on fishing for their livelihoods, and rising sea levels have damaged local ecosystems and drastically reduced their incomes. But there is no better way to solve this problem, because sea levels in the western Pacific have been rising, 2 to 3 times faster than the global average. In the future, more Fijians will be forced to leave their homes and live in the inland highlands.
It has to be said that in the face of rising sea levels, small island countries like Fiji have a very fragile ability to cope and have no ability to save themselves. This requires that the international community devote due resources to the establishment of effective relief mechanisms to help such small countries tide over the difficulties. But so far, the international community has not discussed the formation of such a rescue mechanism, and Western countries led by the United States are still "contradicting" with developing countries represented by China on the climate issue. Therefore, island countries such as Fiji can only ask for blessings in the face of disasters.
