On Saturday, 17 October president of Maldives Mohammed Nasheed and 13
other government officials submerged and took their seats at a table on
the sea floor – 20 feet (6 meters) below the surface of a lagoon off
Girifushi, an island usually used for military training. In the meeting
Maldivian President Mohammed Nasheed signs a document calling on all
countries to cut down their carbon dioxide emissions. “We have to get
the message across by being more imaginative, more creative and so this
is
what we are doing,” he said in an interview on a boat en route to the
dive site. Nasheed, who has emerged as a key, and colorful, voice on
climate change, is a certified diver.
