The National Data Platform is a centralized digital hub designed to revolutionize how the Maldives collects, shares, and utilizes climate-related information. Developed under the Digital Maldives for Adaptation, Decentralization, and Diversification (D’MADD) Project, this platform consolidates data from meteorological, oceanographic, environmental, and disaster-related sources into a single, standardized, and easily accessible system.

As a small island nation on the frontlines of climate change, the Maldives urgently needs fast, reliable, and integrated data to drive climate-resilient planning. The platform empowers government agencies, researchers, policymakers, and development partners to monitor climate trends, assess emerging risks, and design evidence-based strategies for adaptation and disaster risk reduction.

By enhancing interoperability, modernizing data governance, and fostering cross-agency collaboration, the National Data Platform strengthens the country’s capacity to prepare for climate impacts—whether rising sea levels, extreme weather events, coastal erosion, or ecosystem changes. It also aligns with global best practices, promoting transparency, sustainable development, and smarter use of digital technologies.

Ultimately, the National Data Platform is a foundational national asset that will improve decision-making, enhance public services, and enable a more climate-resilient future for communities across the Maldives.
