Abstract

The Maldives, an island nation with a low elevation, is especially susceptible to the consequences of climate change, including rising sea levels, stronger storms, and coral reef degradation. Thereby, it has been committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to climate change under the terms of the Paris Agreement and has actively participated in the international climate negotiations. In reference to this, this chapter aims to assess the implementation and impact of the Paris Agreement on climate action in small island developing states including the Maldives. The primary objectives of this chapter are to analyze the specific commitments and contributions of the Maldives under the Paris Agreement, to assess the effectiveness of the Maldives' adaptation efforts in response to climate change, and to evaluate the progress made by the Maldives in meeting its mitigation targets
