Fight for climate change begins with Maldives

The Maldives, a country that is entirely dependent on oil to run its economy and tourism has to start walking the talk and cut down on its own greenhouse gas by reducing the emissions from vehicles that are jam packed on our streets in Male'. We must use less energy and be more efficient in our use of energy. We need to promote energy efficiency and conservation measures, and our Government has to help the population achieve these aims by offering incentives and creating awareness. We need stringent efficiency standards for appliances, homes and offices, industrial processes and vehicles. We need more renewable energy. We need more public transport.
