If our proposal could help save Tuvalu by funding climate adaptation would you support it?

What is Pacifica?

Pacifica is a proposal for a separate city-state, built on reclaimed land that would be leased from Tuvalu. The idea is to create a brand new, self-governing city on newly created land..

What’s being proposed:

• Tuvalu leases part of its reef— in the western side of Funafuti, this area would be built up with land reclamation to an independent Pacifica government.

• A new city is built — modern, climate-resilient, and focused on trade, tech, and international residents.

• In return, Tuvalu receives enough funding to adapt to climate risks — providing a new source of income for the country and her Sovereign wealth fund. Money from the lease could support health, education, and climate efforts in Tuvalu. Our proposal is geared to provide enough funding for Tuvalu’s Long-Term Adaptation Plan (AUD $2B)

• Tuvalu keeps sovereignty — Tuvalu would still own the territory, and could end the lease in the future if needed.

• Increased job opportunities — Tuvaluans would be able to gain access to work in Pacifica, earning higher salaries, whilst remaining a resident of Funafuti.

• Increased Healthcare — More medical facilities in Pacifica would be available for the benefit of all Tuvaluans without having to leave Tuvalu. 

This is still a proposal, not a final plan — but it’s something worth talking about.
