Locked-in: Revisiting coastal adaptation policies in the Maldives

Geronimo Gussmann revisits the underestimated ability of the Maldives to adapt to sea-level rise. Floating communities, land reclamations and the fortification of islands kept the islands habitable. Nonetheless, the attractiveness of the Maldives as a high-end tourism destination decreased drastically, leaving the islands economy paralyzed. The Maldivian population might soon face costal adaptation limits that raise difficult questions about the future of the Maldives.

Geronimo Gussmann presents his work on day 1 of T2051MCC. On this day it is assumed that global heating has surpassed 2°C.
