Nauru is the world’s smallest independent republic, located in the Central Pacific. Despite its modest size, Nauru has a rich Micronesian and Polynesian heritage, stunning beaches, and vibrant marine life. Historically a major phosphate producer, the country is now repositioning itself as a hub for climate resilience and sustainable development.
The government has launched the Nauru Economic and Climate Resilience Citizenship Program, which allows global citizens to acquire Nauruan citizenship while contributing to national projects that protect the island from the impacts of climate change. Initiatives like the Higher Ground Initiative focus on land rehabilitation, green housing, renewable energy, food security, and water sustainability.
Applying for Nauru citizenship offers both personal advantages and the opportunity to contribute to a nation leading in climate resilience and sustainability. Applicants gain global mobility, family security, and the ability to participate in meaningful environmental initiatives.
