next week you'll see my entire report on the maldives.se islands could be gone if greenhouse gas emissions do not pause or go down by 2050. the problem, the sea is rising way too rapidly and more rapidly than it naturally would. they're losing their water source. 97% of them have lost their wells because the saltwater intrudes and we met people here, oh, they are lovely. muba, his daughter sara, you can see them in the video. they invited us into their home. they used to flood once a year. now they flood two to three times a month. they don't know how long they'll be able to live here. migration is a word they don't want to use but they may have to and it would feel desperate unless we didn't bring you amazing adaptations and technology. they'll have the world's first true floating city which you'll see as well next week. >> oh, my goodness. i know before you were left you were talking to me about that, ginger. abc news is also launching a new climate unit and you, my friend, will be managing editor. congratulations. i know how excited yo

i was speaking to some of my colleagues in the maldives, for instance, who were already experienced with the current shift in climate, they know beyond 1.5 degrees, their corals will be gone, which means their fisheries will be gone, which means they have no food they're getting from the ocean right now, but tourism will also be gone, and more importantly, their islands won't grow along with the rising sea levels. they're really fearing for a future where that will not be reached. we can still keep that warming from rising beyond 1.5 degrees, but we have to make that transition on the energy side really, really quickly. i'm hopeful that america will come around, but that has to be the same for other countries. >> when we talk about climate change, we talk about world leaders and politicians and so on, but it's increasingly literally hitting people where they live, so, you know, it's striking how few people are prepared. and you talked about preparedness for this. so how should individuals, you know, as well as parents, homeowners, people like this, how should they be preparing and maybe
