PANAMA-ENVIRONMENT-WEATHER-CLIMATE CHANGE-ISLAND-INDIGENOUS-RELO

A house destroyed by the sea on the island of Carti Sugtupu, in the Indigenous Guna Yala Comarca, Panama, in the Caribbean Sea, is seen on August 30, 2023. On a tiny island in the Caribbean, hundreds of people are preparing to pack up and move to escape the rising waters that threaten to engulf their homes in coming decades. The government is building 300 houses on mainland Panama to relocate the Guna Indigenous people of the densely populated island of Carti Sugtupu. Some homes have already been abandoned due to rising waters, as experts predict the archipelago will disappear by the end of the century due to the impact of climate change.
