Secretary-General Visits Tuvalu
Caption Description
Secretary-General António Guterres (second from left) meets with a family whose house is only 10 metres from the water at high tide.
Tuvalu rarely exceeds 3 metres above sea level, and at its widest point it spans about 200 meters. Tuvalu is extremely vulnerable to the adverse impacts of climate change. Rising sea levels combined with extreme weather events is contributing to the inundation of low-lying areas. Coastal erosion is also a major problem in Tuvalu, particularly on the western side of the islands.
Mr. Guterres visited the country as part of a trip to the South Pacific to spotlight the issue of climate change ahead of the Climate Action Summit that he is convening in September in New York. In addition to Tuvalu, the trip took him to New Zealand, Fiji and Vanuatu. In each country, the Secretary-General met with government leaders, civil society representatives and youth groups, to hear from those already impacted by climate change and who are also successfully engaging in meaningful climate action.
