MNU is partner institution of the project Resilience to climate vulnerability and environmental risk (RECOVER): focus on small islands funded by CLARE. The project led by University of Waterloo, Canada is aimed at addressing climate change adaptation through a multi-risk and multi-sector approach. By conducting pilot projects in three small island states—Maldives, Mauritius, and Fiji –referred to as “hubs of innovation”, scalable and systems-changing climate resilience approaches will be co-developed to enhance understanding of small island climate adaptation capacities and possibilities. The pilot projects will be conducted by implementing partners in activity countries: Maldives National University, University of Mauritius and University of Fiji.
Stakeholder Consultation for the RECOVER Project’s Objective 5: Real-World Labs (RWL) was successfully concluded at MNU.
Organized by The Maldives National University, the consultation brought together key stakeholders to advance climate resilience solutions around water usage, access and security in Small Island Developing States (SIDS). The event highlighted solutions co-created by both vulnerable groups, NGOs and government stakeholders to come up with context-based relevant strategies from the Maldives, marking a significant step toward sustainable, self-reliant island futures in the face of climate vulnerability and environmental risk.
