A little big apocalypse | Small Islands

"Vulnerability" is the word that best describes small islands' situation. These territories, placed close to the equator, in Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Ocean, are subjected to extreme natural events, such as cyclones and floodings. These natural catastrophes weaken the territory and affect both population and economy causing, on the one hand, the inability to find a stable position in the marketplace and preventing from reaching, on the other hand, the benefit needed to face such catastrophes.

Global temperature rising strongly contributes to get the situation worse: IPCC's datas show how in the last decades extreme events have increased in number and intensity in conjunction with temperature rise. Even if they're not directly responsible of climate change, small islands are those who most feel these events and they are now experiencing what the rest of the world could be forced to face in one hundred years.

Nowadays, among dissenting opinions, the solutions found are very few, not entirely effective and, most of all, hardly feasible.
