Maldivian Foreign Minister Moosa Zameer met with Australia’s Ambassador for Climate Change, Kristin Tilley, for a discussion focused on addressing climate change challenges faced by Small Island Developing States (SIDS).
The meeting highlighted the Maldives’ commitment to ambitious environmental policies, including a transition to 33% renewable energy and a nationwide initiative to plant five million trees. Minister Zameer emphasized the critical importance of SIDS gaining greater access to climate financing from international financial institutions, a challenge he discussed in-depth with Ambassador Tilley.
The two officials also explored avenues for strengthening cooperation between the Maldives and Australia on climate-related initiatives, potentially bolstering the Maldives’ efforts in its shift toward sustainable energy sources.
