Nauru: Statement 2009 UN Climate Change Summit

“Like many islands in the region, Nauru is vulnerable to natural disasters like floods,
typhoons and volcanic eruptions. Climate change will increasingly burden Nauru’s health
care system for the following reasons:

(1) limited facility for medical care
(2) inadequate health care providers
(3) financial difficulties
(4) transportation difficulties
(5) communication difficulties
(6) flat landscape.”
