Discover Kiribati
The Republic of Kiribati (‘kee-ree-bus’) is situated in the equatorial Pacific. Spread across all four of the world's hemispheres it offers amazing and unique cultural experiences. It has a population of just under 120,000, half of whom live in the densely populated capital city. The average height of the atolls is just over two metres above sea level, making Kiribati highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.
