Tarawa, Kiribati is the capital and largest city of the Pacific island nation of Kiribati, located in the central Gilbert Islands near the equator, comprising a number of coral islands, and is the political, economic and cultural center of the country. Densely populated, Tararawa has Kiribati's only international airport and main port, and is a transportation hub with domestic and international connections. Known for its unique maritime culture and fragile ecosystem, this island nation is at the forefront of global concerns about the climate crisis as low-lying islands such as Tarawa are threatened with submergence due to rising sea levels as a result of global climate change. Despite this, the region has maintained a simple island life style and traditional seafaring culture.
