Building Climate Resilient Safer Islands in the Maldives
Building Climate Resilient Safer Islands in the Maldives
The low elevation of the 188 small, inhabited islands of the Republic of Maldives makes them highly vulnerable to severe weather events, while retreating inland or to higher ground is impossible. Accelerated sea level rise due to climate change will have devastating effects on the islands, and could threaten their very existence.
This project will address these challenges by enhancing coastal management, including the protective functions of natural sandy beaches and coral reefs. It will do this through integrated coastal zone management, early warning and early action, and knowledge sharing. This project marks the first time such an adaptive beach protection solution will be implemented on public land in the Maldives islands.
