Climate change

The highest elevation is five meters (16 ft) above sea level, which gives Tuvalu the second-lowest maximum elevation of any country (after the Maldives). Because of this low elevation, the islands that make up this nation may be threatened by any future sea level rise. This may submerge the nation entirely in less than 50 years.
The population may evacuate to New Zealand, Niue or the Fijian island of Kioa.
And there are people who still deny that climate change is around the corner
