According to the United Nations intergovermental panel on climate change sea levels would rise up to 7ft before the end of the century. Which is according to the facts presented at the underwater cabinet meeting would be enough to put the whole republic underwater. “We are all going to die if Copenhagen fails” said Mohamed Nasheed before the spectacled underwater cabinet meeting. The Maldivian government worried about losing their land and planning to purchase a new homeland as a precaution somewhere between India and Sri Lanka.

With this underwater cabinet meeting the President of the Republic of Maldives and its members sending the world a message. Through this underwater cabinet meeting they made a statement to the world that they will not just sit back and watch the sea claim their homeland. Let us all hope that in the future underwater cabinet meetings will still be just a stunt and not mandatory in the Maldives.
