This project will help protect the Maldives from climate threats by providing reliable climate information, allowing early warning of climate events and supporting better preparation to reduce their impact. This project will contribute to GCF’s support of the Early Warning Systems for All initiative, drawing on its work with UNDRR and WMO and helping reach the target of supporting at least 50 countries improve their early warning systems.

The Maldives is one of the most exposed countries to climate change, facing rising temperatures, extreme rainfall, sea-level rise, and coastal flooding. These events are increasing in frequency and intensity, impacting sectors like agriculture, fisheries, and tourism, and affecting lives, livelihoods, incomes, and food and water security. Due to its small size, low elevation, and dependence on natural resources for development, climate change represents a significant threat to the Maldives.

Project activities include improved collaboration for the collection, management and exchange of climate-related data and information, ensuring that this data is better used in decision making for all sectors of the Global Framework for Climate Services at the national level, and more effective preparedness and anticipatory actions that increase resilience and reduce disaster risks by sectors and communities.

The project will benefit from the expertise of a coalition of Technical Partners who have longstanding experience and expertise on the ground, ensuring that different stakeholders work together in a complementary way. The support for TRACT includes provisions to ensure coherence and complementarity between TRACT and another GCF project, Building Climate Resilient Safer Islands in the Maldives.
