Climate Change in Tuvalu

A man purchases plants from a farm jointly run by the Tuvalu and Taiwanese governments. The farm is part of a program of assistance provided by Taiwan. Tuvalu has poor quality soil throughout its islands and atolls resulting in few vegetables and fruits being available for local to eat. The farm sells vegetables to locals twice a week. Located in the South West Pacific Ocean, Tuvalu is the world's 4th smallest country and is one of the most vulnerable to climate change impacts including sea level rise, drought and extreme weather events. Tuvalu - March, 2019.
