dc.description.abstractPurpose - The purpose of this chapter is to address the issue of climate change and its effects on developing insular countries like the Maldives in order to identify adaptive mechanisms and new opportunities in the international context towards achieving sustainable development, taking into account its environmental and social incidences. Design/methodology/approach - Firstly, the chapter introduces some generalities of the Republic of the Maldives and its current challenges. Next, there is a description of the economy of the islands: here the importance of its major source of income, the tourism industry, is highlighted. Then, vulnerabilities and adaptive mechanisms are explored for the particular case of tourism. Findings - Maldivian current efforts in disaster risk management (DRM) mitigation, preparedness, response, and reconstruction stages, and the work between government, private organizations, and civil society, implemented since the 2004 tsunami; and as a response to climate change, are examples of how to apply collaborative approaches proposed by Sustainable Development Objectives, COP21 agreement, and Sendai Framework. Research limitations/implications - It is difficult to measure the consequences of sustainable development actions by the Maldivian government, especially in the international environment. Practical implications - The study of the Maldivian DRM strategy in the context of climate change and the lessons from the Maldives' tourism sector development under climate action serves as a model for other international business organizations which aim to reach sustainable development standards in the Post-2015 Development Agenda. Originality/value - This chapter evaluated important opportunities for sustainable development agenda that can be learned from DRM measures in Maldives.eng
