Until recently, scientic and political conversations around climate change and air pollution had taken place separately. Nowadays, however, it is increasingly recognized that both issues are closely linked. Several air pollutants and greenhouse gases have common sources. Therefore designing mitigation strategies with both in mind certainly has the potential to deliver multiple benets - by helping to achieve rapid near-term climate goals, as well as to achieve real world benets for the ecosystem and human health. In order to develop an integrated analysis on air pollution and climate change for this Action Plan, an air pollutant emissions inventory was compiled, which generated mitigation scenarios and estimated benets of action. It is a signicant step towards identifying science based policy decisions with regards to managing air quality. Although clean air is a basic human right, it has also become a luxury; with nine out of ten people worldwide breathing air declared unsafe by World Health Organization standards. Maldives, a relatively small contributor to global emissions, is not immune to the effects of air pollution. In 2013, almost 90% of air pollution during the dry period in Male' was recorded from transboundary sources. Certainly, air pollution can no longer be considered a local problem. It is very much a global phenomenon which requires international political leverage. The government of Maldives is committed to take concrete and strategic action to address the issues of air pollution to protect the environment, and safeguard human health.Item Minamata initial assessment report 2019(Ministry of Environment, 2019-10-22) Ministry of EnvironmentThe Minamata Initial Assessment (MIA) is intended to facilitate countries to ratify and implement the Minamata Convention on Mercury. The primary objective of the Initial Assessment Report is to provide a basis for further activities relevant to the implementation of the Convention. In this regard, the MIA report will assist Maldives in notifying the Convention in accordance with Article 7, and with respect to the development of its National Implementation Plan in accordance with Article 20. MIA will enable the preparation of a National Plan to reduce mercury emissions as set out in Article 8 of the Convention. The report gives an overview of the initial inventory of stocks of mercury and/or mercury compounds; supply of mercury, including relevant sources of mercury emissions and release sectors that use mercury or mercury compounds; and the amount of Hg per year based on the data collection exercises conducted for the MIA in the Maldives. Maldives is a country that depends on import. There is no mining, manufacturing or production of mercury or mercury added products in the country. The only source of mercury in the Maldives is estimated to be through the import of mercury and mercury containing products.Item Grand corruption and the SDGs: selling the country’s future: the island sales scheme in the Maldives(Transparency International, 2019-12-13) Thomas Shipley, Matthew Jenkins and Ahid RasheedItem World seas : an environmental evaluation volume II: the Indian ocean to the pacific(Academic Press, 2019-01) Charles, Sheppard
