Waiting for the tide to turn: Kiribati's fight for survival

The 33 islands of Kiribati, a remote and shallow nation in the Pacific Ocean, are under threat from climate change.

As you fly in to the main island of South Tarawa, located less than 100 kms from the equator, a precariously thin strip of sand and green materialises out of the ocean. On one side, a narrow reef offers some protection to the inhabitants and their land – at low tide, at least.
