Maldives to tackle displacement caused by climate change

"It is essential to put in place climate change induced displacement preparedness measures applying a human rights-based approach, and mechanisms for the participation of affected communities,” said
Chaloka Beyani, an independent United Nations human rights expert on a recent visit to the country in a report by India Blooms.

Beyani also highlighted the need for a law on disaster risk reduction to ensure the implementation of the Strategic National Action Plan for Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation 2010-2020. He also called on the Maldivian Parliament to enact the law on disaster management that has been pending for some time.
