Frontline of the Overshoot: How Global Climate Spirals Threaten the Maldives

A climate feature warns that global warming risks exceeding the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C threshold and that the Maldives, with more than 80 per cent of its land less than one metre above sea level, faces risks to its environment, economy, energy, water, food and marine ecosystems. It sets out adaptation priorities for the Maldives, from renewable energy and coral protection to securing international climate finance, while arguing that corporate and government accountability must complement individual action.
