President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih has decided to seek Parliament’s consideration for the Maldives to join the charter of the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI), following the Cabinet's approval of the proposal.
At the recent cabinet meeting held on Monday, the Minister of Defense noted that the CDRI is a partnership of national governments, UN agencies and programs, multilateral development banks and financing mechanisms, the private sector, and knowledge institutions that aims to promote the resilience of new and existing infrastructure systems to climate and disaster risks, thereby ensuring sustainable development.
This charter was submitted by India, and the Maldives expressed its support for the charter at the 74th General Assembly of the United Nations.
The main aim of the charter is to develop resources and measures to mitigate the impact on infrastructure resulting from crises related to climate change, and to seek avenues for adaptation in existing infrastructure.
The collaborative partnership enables the exchange and spread of scientifically accurate knowledge, enabling the contribution of all stakeholders to strengthen the resilience of infrastructure systems. The Cabinet reached this important decision, on Monday, October 13, the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction.
