Nauru (also reported as “Naoero”) offers a discounted citizenship route priced at about $90,000, tying the program to financing for a planned climate relocation project. Multiple outlets describe the initiative as aimed at raising funds—reported as around $60 million—to support moving critical infrastructure and households away from coastal areas that face increasing risks from sea-level rise and coastal flooding.
Applicants are said to go through a “rigorous” application process, and successful candidates receive citizenship and a passport. The program is presented as part of a broader global trend of people seeking second citizenships.
One report also frames the offer as a way to attract international applicants, naming countries including Nigeria, Kenya, Egypt, and South Africa. Another outlet emphasizes the climate adaptation rationale behind the scheme, describing the need to secure money for relocation as threats intensify.
Both accounts connect the citizenship offer to climate-related funding goals, while details such as pricing, the projected budget, and the stated purpose are consistently aligned across sources.
