| 内容記述 | This study examines the social effects brought on by sea level rise in Kiribati, a small island nation located in the Pacific region. It is already well documented that rising sea levels, enhanced by the growing temperatures due to climate change, can adversely affect coastal populations. Furthermore, the low-lying atoll islands are estimated to be the first ones, even among the SIDS, to lose a significant portion of territories and even getsubmerged if the sea level rise speed intensifies. However, even though there is evidence that relocation negatively impacts endangered languages, it is still not known if this could negatively affect languages spoken by small populations which may be permanently displaced. This paper focuses on the cases when natural disasters directly affected local languages by reviewing articles that have either discussed a possible connection between language vitality or estimated the vulnerabilities of Kiribati and other island communities. A significant part of the paper is dedicated to the case study of the perception of threats by the inhabitants of South Tarawa in Kiribati, as it allows us to assess how urgent the situation is based on the observations of the local population. Based on the existing studies and the new data, the study could not find any cases of permanent displacement of the main island, and the scope of migration is not high enough to affect the survival of the local Gilbertese language and thus threaten biocultural diversity in Kiribati. However, the existing future models show that the worsening sea levels may significantly shape this low-lying island nation and its population, and this sense of threat is shared with the local population in Kiribati. |
