The Marshall Islands Foreign Minister Casten Nemra says his country's people have no intention of relocating due to sealevel rise.

The Marshalls is the only Pacific Island country to have a leader participating in the summit, where he is advancing regional concerns about the need for more urgent action to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions.

The US Geological Survey recently projected that some of the Marshalls' low-lying islands would be submerged by 2035, while others will probably lack drinking water because their aquifers would be contaminated with saltwater.

As a result, Marshallese could be forced to relocate from their homeland.
