President Dr Mohamed Muizzu has said the Maldives cannot borrow its way out of the climate crisis and has called for climate justice at the COP31 summit.
Speaking in Antalya, he highlighted the vulnerability of low-lying islands and the need for affordable financing, technology transfer and infrastructure investment. He reiterated support for strengthening early-warning systems and accelerating the shift to renewable energy so that dependence on imported fuel can be reduced.
The statements formed part of the Maldives' national position at the conference, which runs until 14 November.
