“एक दिवस आम्ही अदृश्य होऊ,” असे तुवालू - Tuvalu देशाचे नागरिक गेली काही वर्ष म्हतायत. समुद्र सर्व वाळू खात आहे. पूर्वी तिथे वाळू लांब लांब पसरली जायची, आणि लोकांना तिथे पोहताना कोरल दिसायचे. आता सर्व वेळ ढगाळ वातावरण आहे आणि कोरल पण मरण पावले आहेत. तुवालू बुडत आहे. ImageImageImageImage
हे सगळं वाचून भितीदायक वाटतं ना? खरंच तुवालू बुडत आहे. तुवालू हा देश म्हणजे जगातील किमान भेट दिलेला देश आहे. केवळ २००० लोकं वर्षभरातून तुवालूला भेट देतात (फेसबुकवरसुद्धा फक्त १० हजार लोकांनी तिथं check in केलंय).

तुवालू हा दक्षिण पॅसिफिकमधील नऊ लहान बेटांचा गट आहे
ज्याने १९७८ मध्ये युनायटेड किंगडममधून स्वातंत्र्य मिळवले. ऑस्ट्रेलिया देशाच्या उत्तर-पूर्वेकडे तर फिजी देशाच्या उत्तरेला तुवालू हा देश आहे. फुनाफुटी ही तुवालूची राजधानी आहे. शक्यतो गुगल मॅप्सवर बघितलं तर दिसत नाहीच परंतु नावाने लगेच सापडतो पण असंख्य लोकांनी कधी सर्चही केले नसेल.

Closing of the virtual #WHA73 with @DrTedros. #COVID19 pscp.tv/w/cZJ10TI2MTAy…
We know that this #COVID19 pandemic brings serious social-economic effects because to face up to its exponential growth, we had to take draconian measures.

-#Colombia🇨🇴 President @IvanDuque at #WHA73

If we are sufficiently disciplined, work together sufficiently joined, we will be able to face this with success.
That is what we tried to do in #Colombia. We have taken difficult, drastic decisions. This has helped us.

IMF: Partial global rebound to 5.8% in 2021 “assumes the #pandemic fades in the 2nd half of 2020, & that policy actions taken by countries are effective in preventing widespread firm bankruptcies, extended job losses, & system-wide financial strains.” #WEO ow.ly/ZLYi50zccSJ
