The Maldives is implementing a GCF-funded project starting on Sh. Funadhoo and expanding to 48 other islands to combat water scarcity caused by altered monsoon patterns and tsunami contamination. The project focuses on rainwater collection, groundwater quality, and distribution networks to reduce reliance on expensive desalination. This initiative is part of a broader national adaptation plan including zoning and erosion control, while highlighting the gap between current GCF funding and the global climate finance mandate.
