Tuvalu is a small island nation in the Pacific Ocean facing the threat of rising sea levels. By 2050, it is estimated that half the capital, Fogafale, will be flooded by tidal waters. 

The Tuvalu government and UNDP are developing a Long-Term Adaptation Plan (L-TAP) to provide comprehensive national solutions to sea level rise beyond 2100. The vision of the L-TAP is to create 3.6 square kilometres of raised, safe land with staged relocation of people and infrastructure over time.
