Global environmental change is identified as a driver of physical transformation coral reef islands over the past half-century, and next 100 years, posing major adaptation challenges to island nations. Here we resolve whether these recent documented changes in are unprecedented compared with pre-industrial era. We utilise radiometric dating, geological, remote sensing techniques document dynamics Maldivian at millennial decadal timescales. Results show magnitude half-century (±40 m movement) not paleo-dynamic evidence that reveals large-scale dimension, shape, beach levels, well positional ±200 since formation ~1,500 years ago. highlight value multi-temporal methodological approach gain deeper understanding dynamic trajectories islands, support development strategies timeframes relevant human security.

Abstract Pacific islands and atolls face heightened climate risk due to low elevations limited resources. The question of (unin)habitability in these locations is often simplified characteristics hazard exposure, reinforcing assumptions inevitable mass migration. Here we use a multi-dimensional conceptualisation habitability, built from local knowledge, simulate habitability trends the Island nation Kiribati over coming century. We find that water insecurity will be driving factor loss, intensifying under extreme scenarios, while population pressures further constrain show regional disparities lead high internal migration rates, with movement national urban centres preferred abroad. Our work answers calls for holistic locally grounded understanding habitability. By identifying how drivers change time, offer insights targeted timely adaptation.
