問題詳情:
“Rising seas have forced 100 people on a Pacific island to move to higher ground in what may be the first example of a village formally displaced(搬遷)because of modern global warming,”a U.N. report said on Monday.
With coconut palms on the coast already standing in water, inhabitants(居民)in the Lateu settlement(定居點)on Tegua island in Vanuatu moved about 600 yards(meters) inland.
“They could no longer live on the coast,” Taito Nakalevu, a climate change expert at the Secretariat of the pacific Regional Environment Programme, said during a 189-nation conference in Montreal on ways to fight climate change. So-called “king tides” has become stronger in recent years and made Lateu uninhabitable by flooding the village 4 to 5 times a year. The U.N. Environment Programme(UNEP) said in a statement that the Lateu settlement has become one of ,if not the first, to be formally moved out of harm’s way as a result of climate change.
The scientists said that seas could rise by almost 3 feet(a meter) by 2100 because of melting ice caps and warming linked to a build-up of heat-trapping gases given off by burning fuels in power plants, factories and cars.
Pacific Islanders are among those most at risk. Off Papua New Guinea, about 2000 people on the Cantaret Islands are planning to move to nearly Bougainville island, four hours’ boat ride to the southwest. Two uninhabited Kiribati island, Tebua Tarawa and Abanuea, disappeared underwater in 1999.
