THE WORLD IS BLOGGING ON CLIMATE CHANGE
October 15 is marked worldwide as the Blog Action Day. Every year bloggers are encouraged to blog on a theme of global importance on this day. The event for this year is climate change.
“Blog Action Day is an annual event that unites the world’s bloggers in posting about the same issue on the same day. Our aim is to raise awareness and trigger a global discussion,†the organisers of the event described on their website.
Blog Action Day is marked this year as the Maldives is preparing for October 24, the International Day of Climate Action organised by 350.org. Among the events planned for the day is the 24-hour underwater rally organised by Divers Association of Maldives. A video promoting this event has been posted to Youtube.
Another significant event being organised to gain global attention to the vulnerability of Maldives is the underwater cabinet meeting that will be held on October 17.
