Peace Corps Volunteers have served in many nations that have endured revolution, war, and turmoil, but Kiribati may be the first Peace Corps country to simply cease to exist. Like many Pacific island nations, Kiribati (Keer-ree-bahss) is threatened by climate change and sea level rise. Though the 33 islands of Kiribati may not be completely submerged for another fifty years, the islands may prove to be uninhabitable within the next five years. Mike Roman served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Kiribati from 2000 to 2002. In this episode of the Posh Corps Podcast, Mike explains the challenges facing his adopted country, and what he's doing to help Kiribati and other Pacific island nations.
