The tiny island nation Nauru is selling its citizenship to gather money. The government offers a special ‘golden passport’ to raise funds for urgent climate action. Located in the southwest Pacific Ocean near Papua New Guinea, Nauru is one of the world’s smallest and most vulnerable countries.

The plan started last year when Nauru stepped up efforts against climate threats. Applications go through thorough checks to ensure only the right investors are accepted. The money collected will help move citizens and build strong communities.
Nauru faces serious problems from rising sea levels, coastal erosion, and storm surges. Past phosphate mining left much of its land unusable. The money from selling passports will help pay for moving its people and creating higher and safer places to live.
In summary, this idea gives hope and safety to the island nation. This bold step by Nauru’s government might help other places in danger find new ways to survive.
