Overview

Nauru is the world's smallest island nation, with an economy historically reliant on phosphate mining and more recently on Australian aid for offshore asylum processing. The country faces significant environmental challenges from past mining and is highly vulnerable to climate change. Efforts are focused on sustainable development and diversifying revenue streams.
