Tuvalu, a small South Pacific island nation, is facing the disappearance of its land and other vital elements due to climate change and sea level rise.
Tuvalu's leaders are seeking legal protections and innovative solutions to ensure the country's continued existence.
They are turning to the metaverse and digital technology to preserve the most important aspects of their country before it is lost.
Tuvalu's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Simon Kofe, has emphasized the urgency of taking action against climate change at global summits.
If global warming continues on its current trajectory, Tuvalu's islands are at risk of being submerged, making the entire country underwater this century.
Tuvalu aims to become the world's first digital nation, moving administrative and governance systems online to ensure continuity.
The specifics of what a digital nation would entail are not fully clear at this point.
