WELLINGTON – People will have to start leaving Kiribati within five years because rising seas are making life there unsustainable.
The country's outgoing president Anote Tong said the accelerating effects of climate change meant he had given up dealing with the day-to-day issues to concentrate on finding creative solutions for his low-lying country.
He told a climate change conference in Wellington those include building up the atolls, floating islands and buying land in Fiji.
