这项研究的结果是澄清了以下两点：(1)不确定图瓦卢地区近年来海平面上升的速度是否加快，而可以确定的是，图瓦卢发展的环境破坏不是因为全球变暖导致的海平面上升，而是所谓的全球化。(2)为了不受当前环境破坏的严重影响，图瓦卢人正在使用一种独特的生活策略，他们认为全球化带来的暴力变化也将发生在他们传统的当地生活方式中，认为改变的传统也是他们自己的传统。

The result of this study is to have clarified the following two points: (1) It is not certain that the rate of sea level rise in the Tuvalu region is accelerated for recent years, while it is certain that the environmental disruption developed in Tuvalu is not because of the sea level rise caused by the global warming but of so-called globalization. (2) In order not to be seriously influenced by the present environmental disruption, people in Tuvalu is using a unique tactics for living that they consider even the violent change caused by the globalization to be occurred in their traditional local way of life, thinking that the changed tradition is also their own one.
