The first climate migrants to leave Tuvalu have touched down in Australia, ready to begin a new life as part of a landmark treaty.
Situated in the South Pacific, Tuvalu is one of the countries at greatest risk from climate change due to the worsening threat of rising sea levels. Scientists predict that 95 per cent of the nation – which comprises nine palm-fringed reef islands and coral atolls – will be underwater at high tide by the year 2100.
