Former president Mohamed Nasheed opened Wednesday an office in Addu City to promote sustainable and environment-friendly development.
“We are starting this work in Addu City in the middle of the Indian Ocean,” he said at the opening ceremony.
“The purpose of this office is to find expertise and financial assistance for low-carbon development. This can be done together with the Addu City University and other institutions.”
The green technology needed to shift from fossil fuels has been developed, he added, suggesting that solar power would be cheaper than electricity produced from diesel powerhouses.
