thumb|right|300px|An abandoned building on Tebunginako, used as a combination church and community hall. Saltwater erosion is visible on the building's concrete foundation. Tebunginako is a village on Abaiang atoll in Kiribati; to its west is Ubanteman, and to its south are Borotiam and Koinawa.
The settlement had been dealing with seawater inundation and coastal instability since the 1970s, and is being abandoned. A report by the South Pacific Applied Geoscience Commission determined that natural erosion was the primary factor, as the village was located close to the site of a blocked ocean/lagoon channel, The Kiribati government has blamed sea level rise caused by global warming.
