What would happen if a state was to physically disappear but people want to keep their nationalities? It could continue as a virtual state even though it is a rock under the ocean and its people no longer live on that piece of land…. As independent nations they receive certain rights and privileges that they will not want to lose. Instead they could become like ghost states. This is a pressing issue for small island states, but in the case of physical disappearance there is a void in international law. - Increase in sea levels due to global warming could lead to ‘ghost states’

Perhaps the answer lies in greening the cities — not in a vertical direction — but on the horizontal? This is pretty much what Cuba did when the flow of Soviet oil dried up and large-scale mechanised agriculture became impossible. Under the US trade embargo the people faced starvation. The result was a proliferation of small-scale organic farms that basically kept the nation fed. - The Guardian: ‘Farming: vertically challenged?’
