Critical Issues Average elevation 1.5 m above sea level Flooding reported in many islands Coastal / beach erosion Fresh water shortages Maldives contributes less than 0.001% to GHG emissions IPCC projects sea level rise of up to 0.88m by 2100 Maldives could be wiped out as a result

Coral bleaching as a result of rising temperatures

Flooding reported commonly

Severe beach erosion observed in islands

Driving forward international agreements on climate change Mitigation Actions in the Maldives (e.g. carbon neutral) Adaptation Actions in the Maldives (e.g. coastal protection). Capacity developme nt Technolog y transfer Funding Maldives ‘Climate Change’ Strategy
