Minivan News reported that "The Regional Integrated Multi-Hazard Early Warning System (RIMES) has completed a nine-month research into developing a model interpreting the future climatic change scenarios for the Maldives that can provide projections which can referred during national and local development planning."
The project is part of a government initiative named "Integrating Climate Change Risks into Resilient Island Planing in the Maldives", 2010- 2014, which is aiming "to ensure that climate change risks are integrated into resilient island planning and that governments and communities are able to prioritize and implement climate change adaptation".
UNDP, a large contributor to the project, stated that the most important cause of increasing vulnerability to climate change in the Maldives is the "absence of systematic adaptation planning and practice".
