📋 Tender Overview
Scope :
The proposed enhancing climate resilience and food security project will support maldives efforts to build climate resilience focusing on the interlinkages between human settlement and agri-food systems. it will enhance the countrys adaptation capacity in line with maldives climate change policy framework (mccpf) and nationally determined contribution (ndc).
Maldives is an archipelago in the indian ocean comprising 1,192 small and low-lying islands, of which 187 are inhabited. being a small island economy, the country faces underlying vulnerabilities which makes it particularly at risks to the impacts of climate change. more than 80% of maldives land area is less than one meter above mean sea level and hence it is highly exposed to climate-induced hazards such as sea level rise, coastal storms, and flooding. the impact of climate change is already being felt with evidence of (i) increasing mean average temperatures and sea surface temperatures; (ii) increasing frequency of cyclones, storm surges, larger swell waves, and coastal erosion; (iii) sea level rise; and (iv) changing monsoon patterns (footnote 1). future climate projections indicate that these impacts will be exacerbated, which will affect the countrys natural ecosystems such as its coral reefs, water resources, and shorelines, and its economy and populations well-being. estimates indicate that economic impact of climate change on maldives could reach 2.3% of gross domestic product (gdp) by 2050 and 12.6% of gdp by 2100, higher than the rest of the asian countries whose gdp losses are projected to range from 2.2% to 8.8% in 2100.
