Abstract

Tuvalu, an archipelago state in the South Pacific region is one of the countries which suffered under the threat of drowning in the Pacific Ocean. The condition is not something trivial, but that’s enough to threaten the existence of that country. Tuvalu is the result of constantly changing climate and global warming. Tuvalu has even been very prevalent with the term "climate refugee" who not only disturbs the dynamics in Tuvalu, but also the South Pacific. Various efforts have been made by the Tuvalu Government, one of them was voicing the condition of their country at the Copenhagen Conference. In addition, the Tuvalu Government also utilizes information and communications technology to spread their conditions so as to attract international attention. The problems that occur in Tuvalu is one of the threatened human security. In this paper, the authors seek to see the factors which embolden the insecurities in the Tuvalu community itself. The authors set out from the thought of John Barnett which states that environmental changes can encourage the occurrence of violent conflict. This is supported by the condition that Tuvalu is a third world country so that even the smallest climate change problems can bring big problems in the future. Then, with the threatened human security community of Tuvalu, the author will discuss about the alternative perspective for explaining human security with the climate change itself within the study case of Tuvalu.
