Climate Changes on The Maldives

Climate change has significantly impacted the Maldives in various ways. Rising sea levels severely threaten the low-lying islands, leading to coastal erosion, loss of land, and increased vulnerability to storm surges. As a result, the well-being of human communities is at risk, with potential displacement and disruptions to livelihoods.The warming ocean temperatures and ocean acidification have resulted in the bleaching and degradation of coral reefs, adversely affecting marine biodiversity. This, in turn, impacts local fisheries and the overall health of marine ecosystems.
