The implementation of sound environment and energy policies are essential for sustained development in Maldives. UNDP works alongside the Government of Maldives to mitigate and adapt to impacts of climate change, and facilitates access, by vulnerable island communities, to improved environment management measures.

Our Goals

Addressing climate change, disaster risk and environmental sustainability are critical areas for Maldives, as evidenced by the impact of 2004 tsunami, which damaged the economic and social infrastructure by an estimated 62 per cent of gross domestic product. Under our current programme, UNDP will deepen alliances with national partners to continue facilitating the transition to climate-resilient low-carbon development, and improve ecosystem management for environmental protection. more
