For years, we’ve been worried about climate migration — when people will be forced to leave their homes and move elsewhere to escape the of climate change. Fiji, an archipelago in the south Pacific, has over 300 islands, and a population of under one million people — 65% of which lives within five kilometers of the shoreline. It’s a country very to the impacts of the climate crisis. All adaptation options will be explored, from reclaiming surrounding areas to dredging riverbeds to raising the houses on stilts. Only then, when all the alternative measures have been out, after consultation with the community, can the relocation occur. But even when everyone agrees, the process can still be limited by access to money.
