The Maldives is threatened by rising sea levels and bleaching of coral reefs vital to its tourism and fishing industries.<\/p>\n<p>Under some scenarios, it&#8217;s predicted the Maldives will lose around 77 percent of its land area <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/8ambKn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">by around the year 2100<\/a><\/p>\n<p>So great is the threat that a previous government considered buying land elsewhere to relocate the population, but it seems the nation has embarked on geoengineering projects instead.<\/p>\n<p>Currently under construction, the &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscientist.com\/article\/2125198-on-front-line-of-climate-change-as-maldives-fights-rising-seas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">City of Hope<\/a>&#8221; is being built on an artificial island near the capital and fortified with walls 3 metres above sea level &#8211; higher than any natural island in the nation.
