[ 06 ]$_COUNTRY BRIEF · shortage posture

The Marshall Islands, a chain of low-lying atolls, imports all of its energy and food, with diesel supplying its island grids. In free association with the United States, it faces an existential threat from sea-level rise across its barely-above-water territory.
