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. -
Maldives Four Years After the Tsunami
Maldives - 4 Years after the tsunami Progress and remaining gaps Department of National Planning Ministry of Finance and Treasury Republic of Maldives July 2009 2 Executive Summary | Ministry of Finance and Treasury - Department of National Planning Executive Summary In the four years since the tsunami, much has been accomplished to provide its survivors first with basic needs and then with the resources to restart their lives. Most of the physical infrastructure will be finished in 2009 and tsunami resources have enabled notable improvements in health and education. The challenging housing sector was brought under control and most of the remaining work will be completed in the year as well. Large-scale disruptions to livelihoods and the economy were mitigated. Lasting improvements made in disaster risk reduction policies, institutions and systems will increase resilience to future crises. Although the speed and scope of recovery in the Maldives has been impressive, a number of problems caused or worsened by the tsunami have not yet been resolved and remain priorities for government and its partners: The vital needs of water and sanitation and reconstruction of remaining infrastructure for harbours and jetties remain unfinished priorities highlighted in the analysis. Additionally, the relocation of entire island populations is clearly a complex undertaking. Completing the last of the housing and resettling remaining displaced persons (IDPs) will require attention to such details as livelihoods and social arrangements on the islands. It is inevitable that some of these processes will lag into 2010 while currently unfunded sanitation and harbour infrastructure projects will need to extend even further into the future. -
