Climate change in Tuvalu is particularly threatening for the long-term habitability of the island state of Tuvalu. This is because the average height of the islands is less than 2 metres (6.6 ft) above sea level, with the highest point of Niulakita being about 4.6 metres (15 ft) above sea level. Between 1971 and 2014, during a period of global warming, Tuvalu islands have increased in size, according to aerial photography and satellite imagery. Over four decades, there was a net increase in land area in Tuvalu of 73.5 ha (2.9%), although the changes were not uniform, with 74% of land increasing in size and 27% of land decreasing in size. The sea level at the Funafuti tide gauge has risen at 3.9 mm per year, which is approximately twice the global average.

  • El cambio climático en Tuvalu es particularmente amenazante para la habitabilidad a largo plazo del estado insular de Tuvalu. Esto se debe a que la altura media de las islas es inferior a los 2 metros (6,6 pies) sobre el nivel del mar. El punto más alto es Niulakita, con unos 4,6 metros (15,1 pies) sobre el nivel del mar. Entre 1971 y 2014, durante un período de calentamiento global, las islas de Tuvalu aumentaron de tamaño, según fotografías aéreas e imágenes satelitales.​ Durante cuatro décadas, hubo un aumento neto en la superficie terrestre en Tuvalu de 73,5 ha (2,9 %), aunque los cambios no fueron uniformes, con ciertas secciones aumentando su tamaño de la tierra un 74 % y con una disminución en otras partes de su tierra del 27 %. El nivel del mar en el mareógrafo de Funafuti ha subid (es)
