Ibrahim Thoaam retweetledi

Engaged with UN-Habitat, the World Bank and international partners at #WUF13 in Baku, held under the theme “Housing the World: Safe and Resilient Cities and Communities,” on the Maldives’ priorities and challenges in climate adaptation, housing and sustainable urban development.
Also had the pleasure of holding a bilateral meeting with Ms. Anacláudia Rossbach, United Nations Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director of UN-Habitat.
During the discussions, I highlighted the need for climate adaptation financing mechanisms to become more accessible, responsive and available at the scale required by vulnerable nations. I also advocated for recognising voluntary population consolidation as a climate adaptation measure, and housing as essential resilience infrastructure for Small Island Developing States.
