The Republic of the Maldives Strategic National Action Plan for Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation 2010-2020
The Strategic National Action Plan (SNAP) outlines the likely impacts from climate change (including further tsunamis, sea-level rise, coastal erosion, and reduction in food and water availability). It identifies four strategic areas of action to minimise risk from disasters and to help the Maldives adapt to climate change:
• Enabling environment towards good governance
• Empowered and capable communities
• Resilient communities with access to technology, knowledge and other resources
• Risk-sensitive regional and local development
Under each action area are numerous activities, such as to incorporate disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation topics into the school curricula and to develop story books on the same topics for children.
