Building a country is never easy. It takes hard work from generation (代人) to generation. But how about destroying it? A new report from The Guardian said longtime of climate change can do that, The report said Tuvalu will be the first country to be completely lost due to climate change. 

Tuvalu is a Pacific island nation with nine islands and 12, 000 people. It has long been at risk from rising sea levels, Now, 40 percent of the area in its capital is underwater at high tide (潮水). By the end of the century, it is believed that all the islands will be underwater, reported Reuters, So many people in Tuvalu have often moved around the country and even to other countries. 

To help with the problem, the country plans to build its country in the metaverse. The digital (数字化的) country will recreate the same landscape and keep its cultural and historical records, No matter where they live in the real world, the people in this country will have their new identity (身份) and " live " in its online communities. The government hopes to manage and serve them in cyberspace (网络空间). 

This news made many people in Tuvalu excited. But Li Zuxi, director of the metaverse lab of Qingbo Intelligent Technology, said it may not be the best solution. 

Though the digital nation belongs to Tuvalu, it's still built on a metaverse platform (平台), " said Li, "Now, the metaverse is not mature, which may bring some problems. " He gave us an example. If people from other countries enter the space of the digital country but just show their names, how do people know if they do or do not, truly belong to that country?Li added that instead of trying our best to build digital nations, it's better to pay attention to saving the real world now.
