Nauru is a small oval shaped island in the Pacific Ocean. It is ruled by the UK, New Zealand, Australia but gets little say in its own governance. The population is approximately 13,000 people; not including the nearly 1,200 refugees held for resettlement in their detention center. The land area is 21 km2 with a 30 km coastline. Nauru is often cited in studies of climate change because of its relative position to the equator, small island topography, dependence on fishing, and lack of natural resources.
Nauru is 25 miles south of the equator. Being so close to the equator Nauru is in a prime position to measure climate change since there is little fluctuation in day to

Explain sustainability. What is it?
Sustainability is to able to maintain life and resources used in our daily lives for future uses. It also teaches us to preserve non-renewable resources as long as we can because it would run out eventually. Things that we might not have access to in the future includes coal, oil and natural gas. To help keep these resources as long as possible it would be helpful to start using renewable resources such as the wind, geothermal and solar energy as they could naturally be replaced. To be able to maintain our resources it would make a difference if there are less forests being removed, recycling and using sustainable
