Maldives leader vows to make country carbon neutral
The Maldives will become the world's first carbon neutral country by fully switching to the use of renewable energy within a decade, President Mohamed Nasheed said in an article to be published Sunday.
Writing in Britain's Observer weekly newspaper, Nasheed said the country would rely on solar panels and wind turbines instead of oil, adding that "the Maldives will no longer be a net contributor to greenhouse gas emissions."
