Policy frameworks, strategy MALDIVESACTIONS development, governance innovation to respond to climate-related risks Economic Diversification Special Economic Zones (SEZ) to foster investments in outer islands Employment and business opportunities for outer island communities

MALDIVESACTIONS Policy frameworks, strategy development, governance innovation to respond to climate-related risks Population Consolidation Strategies Consolidate population into selected areas so that development can be more focused Communities living on smaller, less populated and vulnerable islands would be resettled on larger islands with better protection & enhanced coastal protection

Policy frameworks, strategy MALDIVESACTIONS development, governance innovation to respond to climate-related risks Maldives Climate Change Policy Framework compiled following extensive stakeholder consultations will be published in June 2015

MALDIVESACTIONS Successful Climate related projects & Programmes at National and Regional Level Atoll Eco Conservation (AEC) Project model eco-system conservation project to be replicated nationwide eco-system based adaptation, consultation with community stakeholders at all levels sustain livelihood in vulnerable island communities, empowering skills
