July 26, 2014 - The president of the tiny Pacific island nation of Kiribati announced a ban on commercial fishing in the waters surrounding his country in order to protect the marine life that lives along the coral reefs that ring his country’s islands, most importantly tuna.

Kiribati / KIRR-i-bas /The native people of Kiribati are called I-Kiribati. The word Kiribati is the local spelling of the word Gilbert and the original name of this British colony was the Gilbert Islands. The indigenous format of the name was adopted when independence was gained in 1979.
Ethnically, the I-Kiribati are Micronesians. Recent archaeological evidence indicates that Austronesians originally settled the islands thousands of years ago. Around the 14th century, Fijians and Tongans invaded the islands, thus complicating the ethnic range; people of Polynesian ancestry further diversified the ethnic typologies. Intermarriage among all ancestral groups, however, has led to a population reasonably homogeneous in appearance and traditions.
The people of Kiribati speak an Oceanic language called "Gilbertese". Although English is the official language, it is not used very often outside the island capital of Tarawa. It is more likely that English is mixed in its use with Gilbertese. Older generations of I-Kiribati tend to use more complicated versions of the language.
Christianity is the major religion, having been introduced by missionaries in the 19th century. The population is predominantly Roman Catholic, although a substantial portion of the population is Congregationalist Protestant. Many other Protestant denominations, including more evangelical types, are also represented. The Bahá'í religion also exists in Kiribati, along with Jehovah's Witnesses and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons), the latter numbering 11,511 at the end of 2005.Kiribati has formal political parties but their organisation is quite informal. Ad hoc opposition groups tend to coalesce around specific issues. Today the only recognisable parties are the Boutokaan te Koaua Party, Maneaban te Mauri Party, Maurin Kiribati Party and Tabomoa Party. There is universal suffrage at age 18.
In government terms, Kiribati has a police force, which carries out law enforcement functions and paramilitary duties, and which has small police posts on all islands, but no military. The police have one patrol boat.[17] Security assistance would be provided if necessary by Australia and New Zealand.the Republic of Kiribati, is an island nation located in the central tropical Pacific Ocean. It is composed of 32 atolls and one raised coral island, dispersed over 3,500,000 square kilometres, (1,351,000 square miles) straddling the equator, and bordering the International Date Line to the east. The name Kiribati is the local pronunciation of "Gilberts", derived from the main island chain, the Gilbert Islands. Kiribati became independent from the United Kingdom in 1979. It is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, the IMF and the World Bank, and became a full member of the United Nations in 1999.

#COP21 @UNDP
undo.org/cop21
Boobu Tioram, a resident of the Pacific island of Kirabati, took time out from reinforcing a seawall in front of his newly built house to speak with UNDP about what climate change has meant to his way of life.
I have moved three times, every three years I have moved, he said, standing on the beach a few metres from his home. Tioram gestured toward a point about 20 metres into the sea, and explained that his first house once stood on a spot now covered in swelling ocean waves. Each time he has moved farther inland, and each time the sea has followed.
Im not sure how long Ill be [in this house], Tioram continued. That depends on how strong my seawall here can withstand high tide waves.
UNDP believes that it is the developing world that stands to lose the most, and which is already losing out, as the effects of climate change edge toward the catastrophic. As climate negotiations open in Copenhagen, worlds away from this tiny Pacific nation consisting of 33 low lying atolls, it is important to keep in mind that for the people of Kirabati, and other poor island and coastal nations, funds for adaptation and not only prevention must top the international to-do list.
Carbon trading will be of no special consequence to us, so there has got to be some very special provisions for the victims, said Kirabati President Anote Tong. Not the potential victims, but the victims, because we are the victims, so there has to be some very deep soul searching.
Kirabati is no more than four metres high at its highest point, and 100 percent of the population lives within one kilometre of the coast, making this nation one of the most vulnerable to the effects of global warming. Its future is uncertain, including the question of whether it even has a future anymore.
The scientific research shows that by 2100 its almost certain that well have more than a metre of sea level rise, said Karen Bernard, a UNDP programme specialist in natural disaster reduction and transition. On a flat island like Kirabati that mount of sea level rise comes very far inland.
Its a very serious situation, Bernard continued. For that reason, the Government is looking for options for relocating the population.

For the people of Kiribati, climate change isn't something to be debated, denied or legislated against — it's an everyday reality. The low-lying Pacific island nation may soon be underwater, thanks to rising sea levels. In a personal conversation with TED Curator Chris Anderson, Kiribati President Anote Tong discusses his country's present climate catastrophe and its imperiled future. "In order to deal with climate change, there's got to be sacrifice. There's got to be commitment," he says. "We've got to tell people that the world has changed."

Do Climate Change 'Refugees' Exist? - Professor Jane McAdam, 29 July 2011, 1-2pm
We have heard the predictions that some 250 million people may be displaced by climate change by 2050, and that small Pacific island nations such as Tuvalu and Kiribati may disappear altogether. Are these dire predictions likely to come true, and if so, are existing legal and policy frameworks adequately equipped to assist people seeking protection from climate change? Drawing on fieldwork undertaken in small Pacific islands and in Bangladesh and India, this lecture will examine the nature of climate-related movement; whether expanding the protection offered by international refugee law and human rights law is feasible; and what other solutions might be appropriate.

STORYLINE
Taiwanese President Chen Shui-bian has invited China's president to visit Taiwan to get a better understanding of the island.
Chen, visiting Taiwan's small Pacific ally of Kiribati, said he hoped Hu Jintao could visit Taiwan to gauge the will of the people.
The invitation appeared to be an attempt at conciliation, though Chen remained steadfast in his pro-independence stance.
Beijing still considers Taiwan part of its territory and has said that force could be used to regain if formal steps are taken toward independence.
Chen's comments came as the Nationalist Party Chairman Lien Chan was wrapping up his China trip, which included a meeting with Hu. It was the first summit between Nationalists and Communists since Taiwan and China split amid civil war in 1949.
Critics accused Beijing of trying to widen divides in Taiwan by inviting Lien, whose party favours eventual unification with China, while snubbing Chen who Beijing derides as a proponent of formal independence for the island.
In his remarks in Kiribati, Chen reassured the Taiwanese public that the US would help prevent China from isolating his government or dividing Taiwan.
Chen also said that Beijing's lack of understanding led to its passing an anti-secession law in March authorising the use of military force should the island move toward formal independence.
Taiwan's President made an unannounced stopover on Wednesday in Fiji, a South Pacific nation that is an ally of rival China.
The one-night layover was expected to anger Beijing, which tries to block Taiwan from gaining new allies and from joining international organisations.
Both sides split at the end of a civil war in 1949, but China still claims sovereignty over the self-ruled, democratic island.

Sierra Leone and three other countries may face EU Red card .Kiribati, Sierra Leone and Trinidad and Tobago are set to face international red card if they failed to adhere into some international regulations to prevent illegal fishing their respective countries. But according to the European Commission - Press release This step opens a new stage of formal dialogue in which the Commission will propose an action plan with specific measures and clear benchmarks and criteria to demonstrate progress. The Commission will then evaluate progress within 6 months from the publication of the Commission's Decision.The Commission hopes that the issues that Kiribati, Sierra Leone and Trinidad and Tobago face can be solved through dialogue and cooperation. If, however, the countries do not fulfil their duties under international law and fail to take remedial action, the Commission may consider proceeding to identification ("red card") and listing actions, including trade measures.

Kiribati ([kɪribas] KIRR-i-bas or ˌkɪrəˈbɑdi;Gilbertese: [ˈkiɾibas]), officially the Republic of Kiribati, is an island nation located in the central tropical Pacific Ocean. The permanent population is just over 100,000 (2011), and the island nation is composed of 32 atolls and one raised coral island, dispersed over 3.5 million square kilometres, (1,351,000 square miles) straddling the equator, and bordering the International Date Line at its easternmost point.
The name Kiribati is the local pronunciation of "Gilberts", derived from the main island chain, the Gilbert Islands. The capital of South Tarawa consists of a number of islets connected through a series of causeways, located in the Tarawa archipelago. Kiribati became independent from the United Kingdom in 1979. It is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, the IMF and the World Bank, and became a full member of the United Nations in 1999.
Kiribati was named in French by captains Krusenstern and Louis Isidore Duperrey "îles Gilbert", Gilbert Islands, after the British Captain Thomas Gilbert, who sighted the islands in 1788. The current name, Kiribati, is an adaptation of "Gilberts", from the former European name the "Gilbert Islands". Although the indigenous Gilbertese language name for the Gilbert Islands proper is Tungaru, the new state chose the name "Kiribati", the Gilbertese rendition of "Gilberts", as an equivalent of the former colony to acknowledge the inclusion of islands which were never considered part of the Gilberts chain.

Kiribati / KIRR-i-bas /The native people of Kiribati are called I-Kiribati.

Kiribati - A Climate Change Reality
#COP21 @UNDP undo.org/cop21 Boobu Tioram, a resident of the Pacific island of Kirabati, took time out from reinforcing a seawall in front of his newly built house to speak with UNDP about what climate change has meant to his way of life. I have moved three times, every three years I have moved, he said, standing on the beach a few metres from his home. Tioram gestured toward a point about 20 metres into the sea, and explained that his first house once stood on a spot now covered in swelling ocean waves. Each time he has moved farther inland, and each time the sea has followed. Im not sure how long Ill be [in this house], Tioram continued.

My Country Will Be Underwater Soon -- Unless We Work Together | Anote Tong | TED Talks
For the people of Kiribati, climate change isn't something to be debated, denied or legislated against — it's an everyday reality. The low-lying Pacific island nation may soon be underwater, thanks to rising sea levels. In a personal conversation with TED Curator Chris Anderson, Kiribati President Anote Tong discusses his country's present climate catastrophe and its imperiled future. "In order to deal with climate change, there's got to be sacrifice. There's got to be commitment," he says. "We've got to tell people that the world has changed."

Do Climate Change 'Refugees' Exist? UNSW Law Professorial Lecture
Do Climate Change 'Refugees' Exist? - Professor Jane McAdam, 29 July 2011, 1-2pm We have heard the predictions that some 250 million people may be displaced by climate change by 2050, and that small Pacific island nations such as Tuvalu and Kiribati may disappear altogether. Are these dire predictions likely to come true, and if so, are existing legal and policy frameworks adequately equipped to assist people seeking protection from climate change? Drawing on fieldwork undertaken in small Pacific islands and in Bangladesh and India, this lecture will examine the nature of climate-related movement; whether expanding the protection offered by international refugee law and human rights law is feasible; and what other solutions might be appropriate. -

Ethnically, the I-Kiribati are Micronesians. Recent archaeological evidence indicates that Austronesians originally settled the islands thousands of years ago. Around the 14th century, Fijians and Tongans invaded the islands, thus complicating the ethnic range; people of Polynesian ancestry further diversified the ethnic typologies. Intermarriage among all ancestral groups, however, has led to a population reasonably homogeneous in appearance and traditions.
The people of Kiribati speak an Oceanic language called "Gilbertese". Although English is the official language, it is not used very often outside the island capital of Tarawa. It is more likely that English is mixed in its use with Gilbertese. Older generations of I-Kiribati tend to use more complicated versions of the language.
Christianity is the major religion, having been introduced by missionaries in the 19th century. The population is predominantly Roman Catholic, although a substantial portion of the population is Congregationalist Protestant. Many other Protestant denominations, including more evangelical types, are also represented. The Bahá'í religion also exists in Kiribati, along with Jehovah's Witnesses and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons), the latter numbering 11,511 at the end of 2005.Kiribati has formal political parties but their organisation is quite informal. Ad hoc opposition groups tend to coalesce around specific issues. Today the only recognisable parties are the Boutokaan te Koaua Party, Maneaban te Mauri Party, Maurin Kiribati Party and Tabomoa Party. There is universal suffrage at age 18.
In government terms, Kiribati has a police force, which carries out law enforcement functions and paramilitary duties, and which has small police posts on all islands, but no military. The police have one patrol boat.[17] Security assistance would be provided if necessary by Australia and New Zealand.the Republic of Kiribati, is an island nation located in the central tropical Pacific Ocean. It is composed of 32 atolls and one raised coral island, dispersed over 3,500,000 square kilometres, (1,351,000 square miles) straddling the equator, and bordering the International Date Line to the east. The name Kiribati is the local pronunciation of "Gilberts", derived from the main island chain, the Gilbert Islands. Kiribati became independent from the United Kingdom in 1979. It is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, the IMF and the World Bank, and became a full member of the United Nations in 1999.

#COP21 @UNDP
undo.org/cop21
Boobu Tioram, a resident of the Pacific island of Kirabati, took time out from reinforcing a seawall in front of his newly built house to speak with UNDP about what climate change has meant to his way of life.
I have moved three times, every three years I have moved, he said, standing on the beach a few metres from his home. Tioram gestured toward a point about 20 metres into the sea, and explained that his first house once stood on a spot now covered in swelling ocean waves. Each time he has moved farther inland, and each time the sea has followed.
Im not sure how long Ill be [in this house], Tioram continued. That depends on how strong my seawall here can withstand high tide waves.
UNDP believes that it is the developing world that stands to lose the most, and which is already losing out, as the effects of climate change edge toward the catastrophic. As climate negotiations open in Copenhagen, worlds away from this tiny Pacific nation consisting of 33 low lying atolls, it is important to keep in mind that for the people of Kirabati, and other poor island and coastal nations, funds for adaptation and not only prevention must top the international to-do list.
Carbon trading will be of no special consequence to us, so there has got to be some very special provisions for the victims, said Kirabati President Anote Tong. Not the potential victims, but the victims, because we are the victims, so there has to be some very deep soul searching.
Kirabati is no more than four metres high at its highest point, and 100 percent of the population lives within one kilometre of the coast, making this nation one of the most vulnerable to the effects of global warming. Its future is uncertain, including the question of whether it even has a future anymore.
The scientific research shows that by 2100 its almost certain that well have more than a metre of sea level rise, said Karen Bernard, a UNDP programme specialist in natural disaster reduction and transition. On a flat island like Kirabati that mount of sea level rise comes very far inland.
Its a very serious situation, Bernard continued. For that reason, the Government is looking for options for relocating the population.

We have heard the predictions that some 250 million people may be displaced by climate change by 2050, and that small Pacific island nations such as Tuvalu and Kiribati may disappear altogether. Are these dire predictions likely to come true, and if so, are existing legal and policy frameworks adequately equipped to assist people seeking protection from climate change? Drawing on fieldwork undertaken in small Pacific islands and in Bangladesh and India, this lecture will examine the nature of climate-related movement; whether expanding the protection offered by international refugee law and human rights law is feasible; and what other solutions might be appropriate.

STORYLINE
Taiwanese President Chen Shui-bian has invited China's president to visit Taiwan to get a better understanding of the island.
Chen, visiting Taiwan's small Pacific ally of Kiribati, said he hoped Hu Jintao could visit Taiwan to gauge the will of the people.
The invitation appeared to be an attempt at conciliation, though Chen remained steadfast in his pro-independence stance.
Beijing still considers Taiwan part of its territory and has said that force could be used to regain if formal steps are taken toward independence.
Chen's comments came as the Nationalist Party Chairman Lien Chan was wrapping up his China trip, which included a meeting with Hu. It was the first summit between Nationalists and Communists since Taiwan and China split amid civil war in 1949.
Critics accused Beijing of trying to widen divides in Taiwan by inviting Lien, whose party favours eventual unification with China, while snubbing Chen who Beijing derides as a proponent of formal independence for the island.
In his remarks in Kiribati, Chen reassured the Taiwanese public that the US would help prevent China from isolating his government or dividing Taiwan.
Chen also said that Beijing's lack of understanding led to its passing an anti-secession law in March authorising the use of military force should the island move toward formal independence.
Taiwan's President made an unannounced stopover on Wednesday in Fiji, a South Pacific nation that is an ally of rival China.
The one-night layover was expected to anger Beijing, which tries to block Taiwan from gaining new allies and from joining international organisations.
Both sides split at the end of a civil war in 1949, but China still claims sovereignty over the self-ruled, democratic island.

STORYLINE
Taiwanese President Chen Shui-bian has invited China's president to visit Taiwan to get a better understanding of the island.
Chen, visiting Taiwan's small Pacific ally of Kiribati, said he hoped Hu Jintao could visit Taiwan to gauge the will of the people.
The invitation appeared to be an attempt at conciliation, though Chen remained steadfast in his pro-independence stance.
Beijing still considers Taiwan part of its territory and has said that force could be used to regain if formal steps are taken toward independence.
Chen's comments came as the Nationalist Party Chairman Lien Chan was wrapping up his China trip, which included a meeting with Hu. It was the first summit between Nationalists and Communists since Taiwan and China split amid civil war in 1949.
Critics accused Beijing of trying to widen divides in Taiwan by inviting Lien, whose party favours eventual unification with China, while snubbing Chen who Beijing derides as a proponent of formal independence for the island.

Kiribati Travel Guide
Kiribati Travel Guide: Curving its way above and below the equator, the Republic of Kiribati (pronounced 'Kiri-bas') encompasses the Gilbert, Phoenix and Line Islands, and was known under British rule as the Gilbert Islands. Measured by land size Kiribati is a tiny nation of just over 810 sq km, but its 33 atolls span a huge 3.5 million sq km of the Pacific. Most atolls surround turquoise lagoons and barely rise above the surrounding ocean, so it's rare to be out of the sight and sound of the sea. Kiribati's recent colonial and WWII history has had little impact on the outer islands, where the people subsist on coconuts, breadfruit and fish as they have done for centuries.

Kiribati Island Travel 2015
Kiribati Island Travel 2015 Kiribati officially the Republic of Kiribati (Gilbertese: Ribaberiki Kiribati), is an island nation in the central Pacific Ocean. The nation comprises 33 atolls and reef islands and one raised coral island, Banaba. They have a total land area of 800 square kilometres (310 sq mi)[13] and are dispersed over 3.5 million square kilometres (1,351,000 square miles). Their spread straddles the equator and the International Date Line, although the Date Line is indented to bring the Line Islands in the same day as the Kiribati Islands. The permanent population is just over 100,000 (2011), half of whom live on Tarawa Atoll. Kiribati became independent from the United Kingdom in 1979. The capital and now most populated area, South Tarawa, consists of a number of islets, ... -

♫ Kiribati National Anthem ♫
Kiribati is remote and tourism is very much in its infancy. However, after Kiribati changed the International Dateline to make its uninhabited Caroline Island the 'first to see the year 2000' (causing hefty arguments with neighbouring 'first-dawn' contenders Fiji and Tonga in the process), the country has moved further into the tourist spotlight. The islands boast superb white sandy beaches and crystal-clear lagoon waters. ********** This description is from WORLDTRAVELGUIDE. World Travel Guide own all copyright to this description.

Kiribati Travel Guide: Curving its way above and below the equator, the Republic of Kiribati (pronounced 'Kiri-bas') encompasses the Gilbert, Phoenix and Line Islands, and was known under British rule as the Gilbert Islands.

Most atolls surround turquoise lagoons and barely rise above the surrounding ocean, so it's rare to be out of the sight and sound of the sea.
Kiribati's recent colonial and WWII history has had little impact on the outer islands, where the people subsist on coconuts, breadfruit and fish as they have done for centuries. Even on the main island, Tarawa, most locals live in traditional raised thatched huts. Western influence is increasing, though, in the form of cars, bars, movies and the Internet, and inevitably there's an escalating urban drift from the outer islands to Tarawa.
The people of the islands are known as I-Kiribati. Wide-eyed children may chirp a bold 'mauri' (hello) to passing strangers, while their elders tend towards a laconic raise of an eyebrow in greeting. Nothing happens fast here, so wind down, relax and enjoy living on island time.
