| Description: |
United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) are collaboratively implementing a two-year Joint SDG fund project, "Strengthening National and Subnational Capacity for Sustainable Disaster Risk Reduction, Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation in Maldives." This program aimed to anchor Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) at the heart of national and subnational development planning to ensure better SDGs and Agenda 2030 achievement in the Maldives. This report provides a comprehensive description of the anticipated climate risks in the Maldives for hazards like flood, storms, and sea level rise and their possible impacts on the population and socio-economy of the Maldives based on the high-resolution climate projection information. The report also highlights some potential adaptation strategies for climate hazards and suggestive ways to integrate the outcome with the policies and actions related to DRR and CCA. |
