Tokelau, Island group in South Pacific Ocean, New Zealand

The three atolls of Tokelau contain 124 coral islands spread across 10 square kilometers in the South Pacific Ocean.

Polynesian settlers first inhabited the Tokelau islands around the year 1000, developing their own society with the god Tui Tokelau.

Each atoll maintains its own council of elders, called Taupulega, who govern according to Polynesian traditions and make community decisions.

Access to Tokelau requires a boat journey from Apia, Samoa, with limited monthly departures and no airport facilities on the islands.

The territory operates entirely on solar power since 2012, eliminating the need for 73,000 liters of fossil fuel previously consumed annually.
