Its economy is expected to grow by 4.9 percent in 2018, driven primarily by the construction and tourism sectors.

Actions that the Maldivian government is taking to address these issues include relocating and consolidating its population from the outer islands to the greater Malé region to effectively use its resources. Given the country’s vulnerability, its NDC focuses on crucial actions to strengthen the country’s resilience to climate impacts and prioritizes mitigation in energy, transport, and waste.

The World Bank and others increasingly called on governments to “build back better” and make our recovery from this pandemic a green and resilient one. At the same time, we saw international oil companies double down on their net-zero plans, outlining new strategies to decarbonize their operations, with several moving towards clean energy. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the speed of the global energy transition. In the global race to reduce emissions and build a low-carbon world, we quickened our pace.Item Environmental-Tax-Reform-in-North-Macedonia-Improving-Environmental-and-Social-Outcomes-from-Fuel-Use(World Bank Group, 2020-07) ވޯރލްޑް ބޭންކް ގްރޫޕް; World Bank Group
