Nauru, a small island nation in the Pacific Ocean, plans to sell its golden passports to foreign nationals for $105,000 each as part of a contentious initiative to fund its evacuation owing to rising sea levels caused by climate change.
According to The Guardian, the country’s president, David Adeang, unveiled the new “golden passport” scheme on Tuesday, with the goal of securing financial resources for the island’s mass relocation in the face of an increasingly dire environmental threat.
Nauru, with a population of 13,000 people, is considering a large-scale migration as a result of increasing sea levels.
The country will sell passports to foreign nationals for $105,000 each, granting them visa-free access to 89 countries, including the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, and Hong Kong.
