A third of people living on the Pacific island nation of Tuvalu have applied for a world-first climate visa. The visa would enable them to permanently migrate to Australia in response to the threat of climate-related displacement. Tuvalu sits just five metres (16ft) above sea level - making the archipelago one of the most climate-threatened nations in the world. The new visa was created as part of a commitment by Canberra to defend the island in the face of natural disasters, public health emergencies and "military aggression". It will also provide support on arrival in the country, like access to the Medicare system and schools, universities and vocational facilities at the same subsidisation as Australian citizens. But only 280 visas are awarded to Tuvalu citizens from a random ballot each year. Tap the link in BBCNews's bio to find out how much entry to the ballot costs.
