The Maldives Anti-Corruption Conference 2024, organized by Transparency Maldives in collaboration with the Anti-Corruption Commission, focused on climate governance and corruption, a critical intersection for a nation facing existential threats from climate change. With substantial climate finance flowing into the country for mitigation and adaptation projects, this conference brought together government agencies, civil society organizations, and key stakeholders to address governance gaps, transparency challenges, and accountability mechanisms in climate finance management. Landsea Maldives shares critical lessons on working with civil society organizations in climate adaptation projects. The presentation highlights systemic challenges including lack of local CSOs weakening oversight at the island level, centralization reducing civil society spaces, weak project design without clear national plans, and communities not being informed about permanent changes from climate adaptation projects. #ActivismArchive #AntiCorruption #ClimateGovernance #Maldives
