In the 2016 Rio Olympics, a wrestler from Kiribati celebrated his performance. But he had not won a medal. In the same year, another man from Kiribati filed a case against the New Zealand government at the UN Human rights council. What do these two men, from the tiny island nation of Kiribati have in common? In the second episode of Our Changing World: Stories of Climate Change, Utsav takes you to Kiribati and asks a pertinent question: How does climate change impact poorer nations? Join him as he busts myths about climate change, against the backdrop of a vanishing nation.
