Tuvalu, a picturesque island nation in the South Pacific, is facing a monumental challenge as it grapples with the harsh realities of climate change. The residents of Tuvalu are on the frontlines, bracing for mass displacement as rising sea levels threaten to engulf their low-lying land. In a poignant moment captured by Ms. Gitty Yee, the turbulent ocean serves as a stark reminder of the imminent dangers posed by environmental changes.
