Climate change affects disaster risks through the increase in weather and climate hazards. It also increases the vulnerability of communities to natural hazards, particularly through ecosystem degradation, reductions in water and food availability, and changes to livelihoods. The CTCN provides technical assistance’s such as strengthening countries’ early warning systems, ability to respond to flooding and capacities to assess climate change vulnerability- approaches which all require proper data, information and monitoring systems. Below you will find related publications, partners, CTCN technical assistance, technologies and other information for exploring this topic further.

The Maldives faces significant challenges in transitioning to renewable energy, particularly due to its dependency on imported fossil fuels and limited space for renewable infrastructure. While the country has made strides in integrating solar power, it continues to explore alternative renewable sources like wind, ocean energy, and floating solar projects to diversify its energy portfolio. However, these efforts are hampered by a lack of human, financial, and technical resources.
