Nukoro Atoll
   
The Federal
States of Micronesia, located in the Central Pacific, North of the
Equator, is one of the lowest lying countries in the world, and
therefore, one of the most threatened by Sea Level Rise.
Every low island is suffering from serious coastal erosion, which
is
steadily worsening as global sea level rise accelerates.
Nukuoro
Atoll is the first to challenge the imminent threat of Climate Change
to their existence with a comprehensive plan for adaptation to sea level
rise. The Nukuoroan people refuses to abandon their beloved home
island, and realize they must act now if they are to save their
thriving indigenous culture and keep Nukuoro habitable for future
generations. Nukuoro Atoll is
the first severely threatened island by Climate Change to develop and
adopt a comprehensive and sustainable solution for adapting to sea level
rise. We hope the global community will get behind this effort and
give their support.
This program is made possible thanks to the
commitment of Help PPPFISH - Help People Protect Propagate, and Farm
Integrated Sustainable Habitats - A Permanent Program of the PanAmerican
PanAfrican Association Inc.; an NGO in Consultative Status with the
United Nations Economic and Social Council, the Global Coral Reef
Alliance, The EmeraldPlanet, Power for Peace, and other collaborative
partners.
This revolutionary program is currently seeking
funding from partnering governments, granting institution, and donations
from the global community. Islands like Nukuoro cannot wait, or they
will be forever lost to the Sea. The Nukuoroan People have
the drive, determination, and spirit to be the first to demonstrate
that adaptation is possible with strong local commitment and
lots of hard work.Please visit the Nukuoro website to learn more about this most interesting project!
