About Tuvalu

Tuvalu, a small island nation located in the Pacific Ocean, is one of the world's smallest and most remote countries. Comprising nine coral atolls, it spans just 26 square kilometers of land, making it the fourth smallest country by area. With a population of around 11,000 people, Tuvalu is known for its rich Polynesian culture, traditional way of life, and stunning natural beauty, including pristine beaches and vibrant marine ecosystems. However, the country faces significant challenges due to climate change, as rising sea levels threaten its very existence, with some predictions suggesting it could become uninhabitable within decades. Despite its vulnerability, Tuvalu has been a vocal advocate for global climate action, emphasizing the urgent need for international cooperation to address environmental threats. Its economy relies heavily on fishing, remittances, and revenue from the leasing of its ".tv" internet domain, which has become a unique source of income for the nation.
