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. Addu-based CSO Project ThimaaVeshi presents findings from their perception survey on development in Addu, revealing critical insights about public consultation gaps, environmental awareness among youth, and community priorities. The presentation explores tensions between development and environmental protection, highlighting issues such as inadequate EIA implementation, lack of public engagement in project planning, and the disconnect between government priorities and community needs. #ActivismArchive #AntiCorruption #ClimateGovernance #Maldives
