Maldives: Climate change policy framework (2015 - 2025)

The Climate Change Policy Framework is a national sectoral strategic document of Maldives for the period of 2015-2025. Its main vision is to recognize the status of Maldives as a nation suffering from the adverse impacts of climate change and to build its capacity to ensure a safe, sustainable, resilient and prosperous future.  

the Framework contains the following five policy goals which encompass the entire document: (1) ensure and integrate sustainable financing into climate change adaptation opportunities and low emission development measures; (2) strengthen a low emission development future and ensure energy security for the Maldives; (3) strengthen adaptation actions and opportunities and build climate-resilient infrastructure and communities to address current and future vulnerabilities; (4) inculcate national, regional and international climate change advocacy role in leading international negotiations and awareness in cross-sectoral areas in favour of the most vulnerable and small island developing states; and (5) foster sustainable development while ensuring security, economic sustainability and sovereignty from the negative consequences of the changing climate.
