Dear MEL School’s
Topic Readers,
Solomons town
first in Pacific to relocate due to climate change
Relocating the
entire community to another island. That is the agreement reached and decision
made to save the small community of 1,000 in an tiny island is the south
Pacific. Because the island is just atoll of coral that rises only two meters
above sea level, it is so vulnerable to sea level rises and tsunamis. Also, the
township was built after the World War II, attachment of the residents to their
mother land doesn’t seem to be as deep as other islanders. Rather, the
residents seem to have no other choices but to move to a safer place.
Enjoy reading and
learning about this bold attempt to deal with global warming.
