This research's foundation is the current state of affairs in Kiribati in relation to the
effects of climate change and how the nation will face the future. The paper examines
how different actors in Kiribati are helping the country prepare for possible climate
change displacement in the future, from the viewpoint of said actors. Interview data,
supplemented by observational data from time spent in the field are the primary sources
of data presented. The research uncovers the importance of education, skills training,
and language in the advancement of employability in a new country context. The data
attests to the fact that these areas that frame social life are currently functioning well or
have encouraging plans in place. Less optimistically, the data details the wanting nature
of the areas of institutional coordination and public communication. The paper closes
with a set of recommendations based on the gaps exposed in the findings.
