Like other small island developing states, the Maldives depends overwhelmingly on petroleum imports for their electricity production, which creates serious economic and financial difficulties. The Government of Maldives is therefore committed to promote sustainable energy and has been actively pursuing several inter-related initiatives to overcome the existing barriers to the utilization of renewable energy technologies. To assist this, the quantification and evaluation of the potentials of available solar and wind resources in the country for electricity applications has been performed. The hybrid system design tool HOMER has been used to create optimal renewable energy (RE) system designs. In order to evaluate these different RE alternatives a multi-criteria analysis is performed using a number of criteria that are likely to be decisive in implementation decisions. The evaluation shows that fully RE system configurations are not financially viable in the Maldives while the RE-diesel hybrid systems could bring down the price of electricity with 5–10 $cent/kWh in smaller outer islands. Assuming that these latter systems with a high probability of adoption are implemented, the resultsItem A rapid assessment of perceptions into environmental management in the Maldives : volume 1 : environmental education and community mobilisation(Live & Learn Environmental Education, 2006-05) Smith, Jady; Nielsen, Christian; Shafeega, Fathimath; Ahmed, Zameela; Henderson, Robbie; ޖޭޑީ ސްމިތް; ކޮރިސްޓިއަން ނިއެލްސަން; ފާތިމަތު ޝަފީގާ; ޒަމީލާ އަޙްމަދު; ރޮބީ ހެންޑޭސަންThis report is designed to provide a basis for the development of environmental education tools and methodologies for environmental management that are both effective and appropriate to the expectations and context of the beneficiaries. The findings from this Rapid Assessment of Perceptions (RAP) are numerous and reflective of the many challenges facing a small island state. The knowledge of environmental issues within the community was high and participants had good awareness of the links between social, economic and environmental issues. However, awareness alone will not lead to change: there is an apparent lack of the social/economic skills needed to act, coupled with poor understanding of alternative options. The general focus of environmental education in the past has been within the biophysical paradigm, exploring environmental linkages and some ‘cause and effect’ theories. While this paradigm is important and relevant, attention needs to be paid to the social and economic processes that mediate environmental sustainability, especially in the area of water governance. The RAP identified five defined areas where environmental management could be strengthened: (i) strengthening capacity for safeguarding and monitoring of water resources, (ii) cultivating domestic expertise in participative facilitation techniques, (iii) focusing on and understanding local needs and exciting skills and knowledge and (iv) promoting of individual and community reflective activities. Part IV of the report brings forward the scope, principles and methodologies to advance sound environmental management through education and learning.Item Training manual: good water, sanitation & environmental hygiene practices for primary schools(Live & Learn Environmental Education, 2008) Shafeeqa, Fathimath; Shazna, Mariyam; Glen, Elaine; Henderson, Robbie; ފާތިމަތު ޝަފީގާ; މަރިޔަމް ޝަޒްނާ; އިލެއިން ގްލެން; ރޮބީ ހެންޑޭސަންItem Schools for a healthy environment : resources from the environment : module 4(Live & Learn Environmental Education, 2008-03) Fien, John; White, Clayton; Bergmann, Iris; Griffiths, Michelle; Parker, Meg; Sayers, JaneItem Field guide to Maldivian plants with Bakuru & Basheera Bon'du(Live & Learn Environmental Education, 2008-03) Hofmeister, Anke; Glen, Elaine; Smith, Jady; Ahmed, Zameela; Shazna, Mariyam; Shafeeqa, Fathimath; އަންކޭ ހޮފްމެއިސްޓާރ; އެލެއިން ގެލެން; ޖޭޑީ ސްމިތް; ޒަމީލާ އަޙްމަދު; މަރިޔަމް ޝަޒްނާ; ފާތުމަތު ޝަފީޤާItem A compilation of reported fish kills in the Maldives(Marine Research Center, 2007) ޝާފިޔާ ނައީމް; ޝަހާމާ ޢަބްދުއްސައްތާރު; Naeem, Shafiya; Abdul Sattar, ShahaamaThis paper describes the series of fish kill events that were reported since the initial event in July 2007, investigative studies carried out to date and their results, as well as the limitations faced during the investigation.Item Beachwatch : managing our beach erosion(Live & Learn Environmental Education, 2006-11) Cambers, Gillian; Henderson, Robbie; Ahmed, Zameela; Shafeeqa, Fathimath; Smith, JadyItem ފެން ރައްކާތެރިތޯ ބެލުން : އެންވަޔަރަންމަންޓަލް އެޑިޔުކޭޝަން ޓޫލްކިޓް(ލިވް އެންޑް ލާރން އެންވަޔަރަންމެންޓަލް އެޑިއުކޭޝަން, 2006-11) ޒީނާ ޝިހާބް; މަރިޔަމް ނަޝާތު; އަޙްމަދު ރިޔާޒް ޖައުހަރީ; ޒަމީލާ އަޙްމަދު; ފާތުމަތު ޝަފީޤާ; Shihab, Zeena; Nashaathu, Mariyam; Jauharee, Ahmed Riyaz; Ahmed, Zameela; Shafeeqa, FathimathItem Community water : a community based water monitoring toolkit using the H2S paper strip test : toolkit(Live & Learn Environmental Education, 2006-11) Fatijake, Mari; Carpenter, Clive; Henderson, Robbie; Ahmed, Zameela; Shafeeqa, Fathimath; Jauhary, Ahmed Riyaz; Smith, Jady
