🇰🇮 Flag: Kiribati emoji

The flag of Kiribati, a Pacific island nation consisting of 33 coral atolls scattered across a vast area of ocean. The flag features a yellow frigate bird flying over a yellow sun rising from blue and white wavy stripes representing the ocean. The frigate bird is a traditional symbol of authority and freedom in Kiribati culture.

Kiribati is known for being one of the countries most threatened by climate change and sea level rise, straddling both sides of the International Date Line, traditional navigation skills, copra production, fishing industry, and unique culture adapted to atoll living. The country faces existential challenges from rising sea levels threatening its low-lying islands.

This emoji is used to represent Kiribati in discussions about climate change, Pacific Island nations, sea level rise, or when referencing traditional Pacific navigation, small island states, coral atolls, and the urgent global challenge of protecting low-lying nations from climate impacts.
