Tuvalu is a Polynesian Island located in the Pacific Ocean, midway between Hawaii and Australia. This video shows the impact that climate change is having on the island and its people.

“The impact of rising seas and the increase in extreme weather events can already be seen in Tuvalu. It is one of 22 Pacific island nations with 7 million inhabitants between them that contribute only 0.06% of global greenhouse gas emissions but are three times more vulnerable to climate change than countries in the North.”

This video proves that we need to act on climate change fast - it is already affecting peoples lives. This makes me feel like I should be making bigger changes to my lifestyle to reduce the negative effects we in the west have on the environment.
