-The Maldivian government
-The Maldivian people
-Other governments around the world (Sri Lanka, India, and Australia for example. These countries are being considered as land for the Maldivian people to relocate to.)
The possible indicators of this issue are:
-How much the sea is rising.
-How many people will be relocated.
-How much money it will cost the Maldives to relocate.
Vision Paragraph
Though it would most likely not be possible, I think that most people around the world would like to see the Maldives still be inhabitable so that the government does not have to relocate all of their people. However, due to the sea rising more and more every year, this would not be possible. A more realistic vision would be for the Maldivian people to easily integrate into their new culture. According to a CNN article, the Maldivian government is considering relocating to Sri Lanka or India because of a similar culture in these countries. I would like to see this occur, because the Maldivian people would integrate well into these countries because of their similar cultures and probably not suffer from persecution as much as if they relocated to a more exotic country. They were also considering relocating to Australia, but I do not think that they would easily assimilate into this new environment and would probably be easily persecuted. They would also better maintain their cultural identity if they did not move to Australia. In my opinion, Sri Lanka and India would be the best places to migrate the Maldivian population to, due to similar cultures and a smaller distance to travel.
