Climate change poses a significant threat to Small Island Developing States (SIDS). There are fears that entire atoll states in the Pacific (e.g. Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Tokelau and Tuvalu) will disappear below rising sea-levels. When these states become inhabitable in a few decades, their citizens will have no other choice than to resettle to other countries. Politicians are worried that climate change will trigger migration flows on a scale and impact that is unknown. For example, they worry that pressures on ailing social support systems in developed countries may become potential sources of conflict.
