本文件显示了图瓦卢的主要岛屿富纳富提的人们为应对气候变化而打算移民的程度。它提出了从富纳富提收集的证据，以挑战人们普遍持有的假设，即气候变化正在、将要或应该导致图瓦卢的大规模移民。它表明，对大多数人来说，气候变化不是一个令人担忧的理由，更不用说移徙的理由了，而且潜在的移徙者不会把气候变化作为离开的理由。由于生活方式、文化和身份的原因，富纳富提人希望继续生活在富纳富提。对气候变化影响的关切目前并不是促使人们从富纳富提向外移徙的一个重要因素，而且似乎也不会对那些打算今后移徙的人产生重大影响。(C)2008爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
This paper shows the extent to which people in Funafuti - the main island of Tuvalu - are intending to migrate in response to climate change. It presents evidence collected from Funafuti to challenge the widely held assumption that climate change is, will, or should result in large-scale migration from Tuvalu. It shows that for most people climate change is not a reason for concern, let alone a reason to migrate, and that would-be migrants do not cite climate change as a reason to leave. People in Funafuti wish to remain living in Funafuti for reasons of lifestyle, culture and identity. Concerns about the impacts of climate change are not currently a significant driver of migration from Funafuti, and do not appear to be a significant influence on those who intend to migrate in the future.
