Overview

Kiribati is a remote Pacific island nation composed of 33 atolls and reef islands, highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, particularly rising sea levels. Its economy is small and heavily reliant on fishing licenses, remittances, and foreign aid. The country faces significant development challenges due to its geographic dispersion and limited resources.
