Threatened by rising seas, Maldives moves to go carbon-neutral
The devastating consequences of climate change are already beginning to claim victims.
The low-lying island of the Maldives, in the Indian Ocean, is being faced with the looming threat of rising sea levels, a direct effect of global warming. The island's beacon of hope, President Mohamed Nasheed, the Maldives' first democratically elected president in more than 30 years, is the man at the forefront of the climate change movement.
Nasheed talks to Metro about how the Maldives is set to become the world’s first carbon-neutral nation.
