Australia has offered a lifeline to the people of Tuvalu, whose island is threatened by rising sea levels. But the deal comes with strings attached – and there will be millions more climate migrants in need of refuge by 2050
Tuvalu’s population is also very small. Taking in around 10,000 climate migrants would be inconsequential for a country of 28 million like Australia.
More importantly, I would think, is that we are the 6th largest country with the 54th largest population. We should be making these agreements with every other pacific island nation already, and guarantee a much swifter migration rate each.
