Climate change is forcing indigenous Panamanian islanders to relocate

About 2,000 residents of Guna Yala Island will be one of the first indigenous communities in Latin America to relocate due to climate change.

Islander Magdalena Martinez, who has been campaigning for new homes on the mainland, tells the BBC how it feels to leave the island she grew up on.

The Panamanian government estimates that all of the Guna people's islands could be submerged by 2050, based on predictions by a group of independent scientists, although others believe the islands may not be submerged before the end of the century.
