In 2009 then President of the Maldives, Mohamed Nasheed, made headlines when he held a cabinet meeting underwater to highlight the risk of global warming for small island states like the Maldives. Projections show that by 2100 the island could be submerged by rising sea levels.

Since then Nasheed has been working to ensure that the demands of the most vulnerable countries are not ignored, as the ambassador for ambition at the Climate Vulnerable Forum. Last week CVF launched a Climate Prosperity Plan for Sri Lanka which aims to increase the country’s renewable energy production to 75% as well as modernize its electricity infrastructure.

Nasheed said Climate Prosperity Plans are low carbon development strategies “with less extraction and more recycling but with the same economic outcomes of high GDP growth, high employment, low inflation and so on.”
