Unfortunately the crises that Tuvaluans face are not confined to their shores. Climate change, resource shortages, over population and forced migration are issues that all nations, even those in the wealthier parts of the world, are going to inevitably face. Tuvalu is perhaps just the canary in the coalmine; an example of where these crises might hit first and hit most severely. It is likely that global crises will necessitate a reversal of globalisation in the near future, with many city residents forced to relocate closer to their sources of food and resources. The creation of communities with a dramatically higher degree of local self reliance will be essential. As such, this action plan for Tuvaluan relocation also serves as a template for the relocalisation of populations within the potential host nation, Australia, and in fact, for the rest of the world.
