Overview
About Nauru
Nauru is the world's smallest island nation, a single raised-coral atoll in the Central Pacific, historically shaped by phosphate mining and now diversifying its economy through international partnerships.
A member of the United Nations and the Commonwealth, Nauru launched its Economic and Climate Resilience Citizenship Programme to fund adaptation projects while offering investors a fast, low-profile route to a second passport.
