The Maldives are at the centre of the climate crisis, facing an existential threat from the actions of the world’s most developed nations. UN High Representative, Courtenay Rattray, said at COP 26: “The world needs to hear the voices of island nations, where communities are dealing with a Climate Crisis they had little part in causing”.

To support this cause, Soneva - creators of luxurious and sustainable resorts in the Maldives and Thailand - have partnered with iChild to offer inspiring environmental learning opportunities in the Maldives. Plus, these experiential lessons can also be brought into your classroom for free!

Engaging with the Environment

Since its launch 26 years ago, Soneva has been at the forefront of the Maldives’ effort to create a more sustainable future, in the face of climate change. Through initiatives such as eliminating single-use plastics, moving towards a zero-waste philosophy, using solar power and reducing its carbon footprint, preserving the Maldives’ native biodiversity is at the heart of Soneva’s Slow Life purpose. The aim of the environmental education from the Soneva Academy is to inspire the next generation to conserve and protect our planet for the future.
