The low-lying Pacific island nation o adidas original campus fKiribatiis one of the parts of the world most threatened byclimate change and rising sea levels. Scientists say the islands could be uninhabitable within decades, and in recent years, some leaders there have begun planning for a worst-case scenario that could involve relocating the population to other countries. CBSN On Assignment - Climate Refugees: KiribatiHowever, in a video presentation to the international climate conferenc salomon mujer e in Bonn, Germany, last week, the president of Kiribati appeared to be turning away from such a plan. Climate change is indeed a serious problem, President H.E Taneti Maamau said in the video. But we don t believe that Kiribati will sink like the Titanic ship. Our country, our beautiful lands, are created by the hands of God.

We need the cooperation and the hands of our developing partners and those who are ready to assist and join us on this ambitious journey.
