In the spirit of the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy (GCoM), Meedhoo Island Council makes a public climate commitment, sets evidence-based targets, and reports progress openly. We act on three fronts: cutting emissions, adapting to a changing climate, and expanding access to clean energy.
The commitments we measure ourselves against, with the year we aim to reach them.
Rooftop solar on the council office, school and health post to cut grid demand.
Replace all street and public lighting with efficient LEDs.
Reduce burning and landfill methane through source segregation and island composting.
Soft and hard protection where erosion threatens homes and infrastructure.
Protect the wetland as a natural buffer against flooding and a carbon sink.
Early warning for storms, surge and flooding, reaching every resident.
A shared solar array with storage to firm up renewable supply day and night.
Advice and incentives for efficient appliances and rooftop solar.
An honest assessment of the hazards facing our island, and how we respond to each.
Low-lying land, homes and the harbour are exposed to gradual inundation.
Seasonal swells and surge flood shorefront roads and properties.
Shoreline loss threatens beaches, vegetation and buildings.
Saltwater intrusion and dry spells strain the freshwater lens.
Rising temperatures affect health, comfort and energy demand.
We report our climate progress openly, following the simplified Common Reporting Framework designed for small councils with limited data capacity. This page is that report: our commitment, our targets, the actions underway, and the risks we are managing, including the gaps still to close.
