Maldives President seeks international funding to combat rising sea levels and climate change impact.

Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu has called for international funding to address rising sea levels, urging wealthier nations to help vulnerable communities like his low-lying Indian Ocean archipelago. Despite contributing only 0.003% of global emissions, the Maldives requires around $500 million to mitigate the impacts of climate change, but its tourism-dependent economy cannot secure the funds on its own. The country receives only about 14% of the finance that least developed countries receive.
