In his keynote address "Climate Change Without Borders: Lessons from the Maldives’ Adaptation Experience", His Excellency Mr. Mohamed Muizzu, President of the Republic of the Maldives, will address both: insights into the Maldives’ approach to climate adaptation and lessons of relevance to the international community. Together with Professor Marcel Robischon and Dr. Axel Klie (Humboldt-Universit?t zu Berlin), he will discuss the importance of climate policies and international cooperation, the expectations placed on the global community and academia, and the role of universities and research institutions in shaping climate action. The discussion will also explore how scientific research and international partnerships inform policy decisions, as well as how local and traditional ecological knowledge is integrated into national climate adaptation strategies.
