On the other side of the world, very close to the Philippines, there is a place called the Republic of Palau. In this place Tommy Remengesau governs an archipelago of 300 small islands and 21 thousand inhabitants. The flag of the Republic of Palau has a yellow circle in the middle. “Blue represents the ocean, most of our territory; yellow the moon, which influences the tides.” Palau is a place where the earth and the sky have lost a balance and have become a distant paradise due to global warming. President Remengesau saw how climate change came. Due to rising sea levels, the garden his wife tended behind their home is flooded with salt water every time the tide rises. "We no longer have flowers on the land, he says in an interview at the headquarters of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, we had to put them in pots and we move them to a higher place when the water rises." Regarding how climate change has affected the lives of the inhabitants of this place, Remengesau said : “It affects our lives quickly and concretely. It was a morning four years ago.
When we first noticed seaweed and debris left by the ocean in the garden. Today, the tide is more than a foot higher than when we built the house in 1989.” The 61-year-old flew 24 hours to the recent biennial FAO conference in Rome, filling the agenda with talks to explain to everyone that his concerns about gardening are not Iceland Mobile Number List exaggerations, but dramatic evidence of the vulnerability of the planet to climate mutations. Palau and its neighbors observe that the sea level is rising more and more every day. Palau has some “mountain” terrain: its highest point exceeds 200 meters above sea level. “We have no choice but to move people and farms to higher ground.” The president of the archipelago says that you don't have to insist to convince people: “When you see how your harvest is lost because the sea floods it and burns it with its salt, you don't wait for it to happen a second time. You leave, you move, you look for a future.
Food on the island A new global action program signed with FAO helps the government identify places suitable for agriculture and to enrich the soil. Seafood is the main source of protein for the inhabitants of this violated paradise. However, the rise in global temperature means that the ocean is becoming more acidic, threatening corals and fish stocks, already compromised by illegal fishing. “There are no longer enough resources on land and in the sea to supply us. “We are forced to import food,” the president frowns. He doesn't flinch from his slow, serious tone: “Climate change is a global problem that our nation cannot address alone.” Regarding Donald Trump leaving the Paris Agreement to limit the increase in global temperature "well below" two degrees. Palau was the second country in the world to ratify the pact after Fiji. Therefore, Remengesau has something to say to the new tenant of the White House. “I am extremely disappointed with the United States’ decision.” “Global warming is not a partisan issue, it is not a diplomatic issue, it is a survival issue,” Remengesau said.
