Keywords:
Climate change adaptation, Coastal communities, Maldives, ResilienceAbstract
This article examines the effectiveness of climate change adaptation strategies implemented in coastal communities in the Maldives. Through stakeholder interviews and case studies, we assess the resilience of local communities to sea-level rise, extreme weather events, and ocean acidification, and identify best practices for adaptive management.
