The document summarizes a case study on sea level rise in the Maldives. It discusses that climate change is causing sea levels to rise globally by warming water and melting ice. This poses major risks for the Maldives through flooding, damaging coral reefs, and causing beach erosion. To address these impacts, the Maldives is undertaking national resettlement efforts, rebuilding houses, and convincing people to prepare for rising sea levels. Internationally, the Kyoto Protocol and Paris Agreement aim to reduce emissions and limit global warming to less than 2 degrees Celsius respectively to mitigate sea level rise. The Maldives' national policy framework contains goals to ensure sustainable financing for adaptation, strengthen low emission development, and foster sustainability while ensuring

2. Introduction and Purpose
The world is facing an Environment Emergency.
The Third World Countries are most-affected, the
Second World are next to them.
Sea-Level Rise is a Potential Threat to the
existence of island Countries.
The Maldives is a severely affected country due to
sea-level rise.
The purpose of this case study is to create
awareness.
To bring forth the Sea-level rise emergency.

3. Causes of Sea-Level Rise
Warmer Water
Climate change is causing
the sea level to rise around
the world.
Melting Ice
As ice melts on land, the extra
water flows into the ocean,
which causes sea level to rise.
Flooding
Maldives is at major risk of
flooding at all times.
Coral Reef
At the center of the Maldives’
culture are their coral reefs.
Construction
Due to dense population
center the people don't have
anymore land.
Beach Erosion
Beach erosion is commonly
reported as the main
environmental threat

4. Impact
and
Solutions
Erosion
Damaged coral reefs
Lack of freshwater resources
Contamination of soil
Disruption of economy
National resettlement efforts should
focus on islands with substantial
elevation.
To have newly reclaimed islands At
least 1 m above high tide.
Rebuilding of houses.
The government should undertake
Efforts to Convince the masses the
need to prepare for rising sea levels.

5. International
Conventions
Kyoto Protocol`
As part of an international effort to
mitigate the potential human-
induced climate change, the so-
called Annex I countries agreed to
reduce their emissions of carbon
dioxide and other greenhouse
gases
Paris Agreement
The Paris Agreement aims to
limit global mean warming in
the twenty-first century to
less than 2 degrees Celsius
above preindustrial levels.

6. The framework contains five policy goals:
(1) Ensure and integrate sustainable financing into climate change adaptation
opportunities and low emission development measures;
(2) Strengthen a low emission development future and ensure energy security for
the Maldives;
(3) Strengthen adaptation actions and opportunities and build climate-resilient
infrastructure and communities to address current and future vulnerabilities;
(4) Inculcate national, regional and international climate change advocacy role
in leading international negotiations and awareness in cross-sectoral areas in
favour of the most vulnerable and small island developing states; and
(5) Foster sustainable development while ensuring security, economic
sustainability and sovereignty from the negative consequences of the changing
climate.
