Integrated Vulnerability and Adaptation Assessment

The Government of Kiribati selected Abaiang and Tabiteuea North from a group of atolls considered ‘most vulnerable’. Then due to factors such as the inland shift of 80 metres of the coastline threatening Tebunginako village and the comparatively large population size and proximity to Tarawa, Abaiang was selected as the first atoll for the Whole of Island approach to take place.
