Maldives cabinet meeting underwater

The nation of the Maldives is made up of 1,190 coral islands grouped into 26 atolls in the Indian Ocean. Most of their land is barely above sea level and could literally disappear if sea level rises. The country’s cabinet is making the world notice – signing a declaration against climate change underwater. More about climate change can be found in our climate change featured story.
