  1. Quiet true what the Honorable Minister has said with regard to Climate Change and that world has started to listen to the Maldives has been saying. What about us in the Maldives listening to what the world has to say to us. Apparently as a developing country in Indian Ocean region, are we taking enough measure to deuce carbon emissions. Maldives is said to rank among the top emitters of carbon!
