2 December, 2015, Paris, France, COP21 - Seventy per cent of households in Kiribati and Tuvalu, and 35 per cent of families in Nauru would migrate if impacts of climate change worsen in their islands, a survey on the three Pacific islands have shown.
It's the first and largest survey of its kind to be done in the Pacific by the United Nations University, and the results were released at the margins of the UN's 21st Conference of the Parties currently underway in Paris. A total of 6,852 individuals in the three islands participated in the study, who represented 852 households in Kiribati, Nauru and Tuvalu.
