    What Is Shaping Vulnerability to Climate Change? the Case of Laamu Atoll, Maldives

    Island Studies Journal, 14(1), 2019, 81-100 What is shaping vulnerability to climate change? The case of Laamu Atoll, Maldives Karen E. McNamara The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia [email protected] Rachel Clissold The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia [email protected] Annah Piggott-McKellar The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia [email protected] Lisa Buggy The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia [email protected] Aishath Azfa United Nations Development Programme, Malé, Maldives [email protected] Abstract: As climate change accelerates, it brings with it numerous challenges to society and the natural world. Concepts such as vulnerability have emerged as a way of trying to understand people’s risk, despite there being a range of variables that can influence vulnerability and its temporal and spatial dimensions. Drawing from the well-known conceptualisation of vulnerability as a function of exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity, this paper seeks to understand what variables are influencing and shaping vulnerability in Laamu Atoll, the Maldives, and produce a base of knowledge for future vulnerability reduction initiatives. Household questionnaires (n=412) were used on Laamu Atoll to ascertain locals’ perceptions of vulnerability based on livelihood resources, financial security, and climate-change experiences. Results show that peripherality, as a notion that describes the disparities between ‘core’ and ‘peripheral’ islands, is a key factor shaping vulnerability variables on Laamu Atoll. This has prompted an overarching recommendation for peripherality to be considered as a key dimension of vulnerability to climate change and an important consideration for existing and future human development and climate change policy and practice in Small Island Developing States.

  • Chapter 7 Power Supply

    Chapter 7 Power Supply

    CHAPTER 7 POWER SUPPLY 7.1 Introduction The tsunami of the 26th December, 2004 caused severe damage to the electrical infrastructure of the country. It completely disrupted the power supply in at least 95 islands, which is about 48% of all islands with electricity. However, by 6th January, 2006, almost 98% of inhabited islands have their electricity supply temporarily recovered and restored. In almost all the affected islands, the damage occurred to the underground distribution network rather than generation facilities. Seawater deteriorated underground cables and cable joints in terms of insulation. Although there is no official record, it is reported that more power interruptions are caused by the damage to the distribution system. On the other hand, most generators are operating in satisfactory conditions. Table 7.1 shows the generators that have been procured and installed in Laamu Atoll by International Red Cross. Table 7.1 Generators Procured by International Red Cross in Laamu Atoll Island Capacity Delivery date Isdhoo 60kVA 2005/1/22 Isdhoo-Kalaidhoo 60kVA 2005/1/22 Maabaidhoo 60kVA 2005/1/22 Hithadhoo 80kVA 2005/2/27 Dhanbidhoo 80kVA 2005/2/27 Gan-Mukurimagu 150kVA 2005/2/27 Fonadhoo 80kVA 2005/2/27 The project aims to restore and rehabilitate the low voltage (400/230V) power distribution systems in five islands (Isdhoo, Isdhoo-Kalaidhoo, Maabaidhoo, Gan-Mukurimagu and Maavah) in Laamu Atoll, considering the extent of the tsunami damage and future sustainability of power supply by the island committees. 7.2 Present Conditions The people who live in the tsunami affected areas are currently suffering from frequent power outages, because the temporary cables and distribution boxes are not appropriately designed in consideration of existing load current.
