The Pacific island nation of #Nauru is selling citizenship to fund its retreat from rising seas, the country’s president, David Adeang, announced on Tuesday, opening a contentious “golden passport” scheme as #climatefinancing runs dry... #climatechange #sealevelrise #pacificocean
This desperate island is on it's knees and having to prostitute itself to the World Community who is drowning them.

Wealth = environmental destruction, a story of our times.
"""
Unusually pure phosphate deposits – a key ingredient in fertiliser – once made Nauru one of the wealthiest places, per capita, on the planet.
But these supplies have long dried up, and researchers today estimate 80% of Nauru has been rendered uninhabitable by mining.
What little land Nauru has left is threatened by encroaching tides.

This Island Nation In Oceania Is Selling Citizenship To Tackle Climate Change
Amid rising sea levels and severe floods, Nauru Island plans to sell passports to fund the relocation of residents living in low-lying homes
"To help meet the cost of moving about 10,000 residents from low-lying homes menaced by rising sea levels and floods, the remote Pacific Ocean nation of #Nauru aims to sell citizenships for the #climate-threatened island.
President Adeang is seeking to raise an initial $65 million for work to transform the barren interior — left as an uninhabitable moonscape by decades of #phosphate mining — with a project to ultimately develop a new township, farms and workplaces."

Our guide told us this area was first used by the Germans during WW1, and then by the Japanese - as a prison camp - during WWII. #nauru
The legend on Nauru says that when the demigod Araiman died, he turned to stone in the water. Thus, the unique sea stacks. #nauru

United Nations human rights committee says decision should serve as warning to other nations considering outsourcing asylum processing
The decision “sends a clear message to all states: Where there is power or effective control, there is responsibility.”
“The outsourcing of operations does not absolve states of accountability. Offshore detention facilities are not human rights-free zones.”
