Located 50 miles off the coast of Papua New Guinea, the Carteret Islands are disappearing into the ocean. Climate change is destroying the atoll, forcing the islanders to search for homes on Bougainville, an autonomous region of Papua New Guinea. Though this is the story of one remote community, scientists estimate climate change will displace up to 50 million people by 2050.

This report is part of Pulitzer Center-sponsored project "The Next Wave: Climate Refugees in the South Pacific" (http://bit.ly/t9dVUx).
