The Vice President says today’s
activities are extremely important to
bring the CO2 level down to 350ppm
Vice President Dr Mohamed Waheed has said the activities that were
taking place around the world as part of the “International Day of
Climate Action”, initiated by 350.org, were extremely important to bring
the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration level down to 350 parts per
million.
The aim of International Day of Climate
Action was to bring to the
attention of world leaders who participate in the Copenhagen Summit that
the level of carbon concentration in the atmosphere is at threatening
levels.
350 parts per million is the highest level of
carbon concentration in
the atmosphere to sustain the livelihood on the earth. The current level
of carbon concentration in the atmosphere is estimated to be at 387
parts per million. The aim of this activity is to bring this level down
to 350 parts per million.
Speaking from underwater, while diving to participate in the underwater
protest organised by the Divers’ Association
of Maldives to take part in
the global action, the Vice President said, currently the atmospheric
carbon dioxide concentration was too high.
“World community
has to do whatever is necessary to bring down this
level to 350”, said the Vice President.
In addition to diving underwater to participate in the
underwater
protest this afternoon, the Vice President took part in the bicycle ride
around Malé along with the members of the Cabinet. The bicycle ride of
the Cabinet around Malé was organised by the Divers’ Association of
Maldives and Sunfront.
Earlier, the Vice President also attended a function held by the
Maldives Water and Sewerage Company (MWSC) to promote the campaign. Dr
Waheed inaugurated the activities organised by MWSC by printing his hand
on a 350 logo banner, which was followed by hand printing on the banner
by the management and the staff of the company. The hand print was a
pledge of commitment to promote and enhance environment friendly
practices by the Company.
Number of other activities are taking place in Malé and other islands of
the Maldives to mark the “International Day of Climate Action”.
