Indigenous people and climate change: With the Guna when the oceans rise (4/4)

Issued on:

FRANCE 24 brings you the stories of people on the front lines of climate change. From Kenya to Panama via Greenland and Australia, our reporters James André and Achraf Abid went to meet the Indigenous people who live in harmony with nature and whose daily lives are being turned upside down by global warming. Don't miss our series of four special reports. In this last episode, we take you to Panama.

September 2023: Edilbertha's feet are in the water. Her house on the island of Gardi Sugdub, which is located off the coast of Panama, is flooded at every high tide. When she was a child, the flooding only happened in December and January ... now it starts as early as September.

The overcrowded island is regularly flooded – to the extent that 300 families have decided to leave. A new village is being built on the coast, and the Guna of Gardi Sugdub are preparing to leave their home island, which is sinking inexorably into the Atlantic Ocean.
