so far the coral atols are growing in tandem with the sea level, so sea level rise cannot be the reason for people there leaving. https://www.downtoearth.org.in/news/climate-change/how-to-fa...

The existing infrastructure doesn't grow higher, and the increased climate variability means much more floods.

infrastructure doesn't grow higher, but the islands grow larger, so existing infrastructure shouldn't have that much risk
