Maldives President Mohammed Nasheed is a Climate Change Pioneer

Since being elected, President Mohammed Nasheed has campaigned hard to increase awareness of the Maldives’ strife concerning climate change.  If sea levels continue to rise at today’s rates, the Maldives will be submerged by water before the end of the 21st Century.  The Maldives is even in a position where, as a country, it needs to begin looking for and purchasing new, higher islands, on which to relocate when the islands are finally submerged.

President Mohammed Nasheed also Certified Scuba Diver

President Nasheed has been a certified scuba diver for many years, but most other cabinet members had to take scuba diving lessons and also learn scuba diving sign language so they could effectively communicate underwater.
