🌊 Resilience in Action: Tuvalu’s Land Reclamation 🇫🇯 Here in Funafuti with my colleague Nicholas Miller, with DeepAI, we’re beyond grateful for the opportunity to witness, up close, the transformative efforts Tuvalu is making to reclaim its future from the sea. These shots capture the journey: a community restoring its coastline over *370 meters in length and *~100 meters in width, using sand dredged by a ship from the seabed (as seen in the 1st photo) to create a robust land designed to withstand rising oceans. Backed through the Tuvalu Coastal Adaptation Project (TCAP), with support from #GreenClimateFund, #UNDP, #Australia, #NewZealand, #US, and #TuvaluGov, this 7-year project is a global example of determination and innovation by Small Island Developing States (#SIDS). The resilience and ingenuity here are truly inspiring: Tuvalu is leading by action. #Tuvalu #ClimateAction #LandReclamation #Resilience #SustainableDevelopment #PacificIslands #Innovation #DeepAI
