The Maldives, a low-lying country in the Indian Ocean, is facing rising sea lives which could literally wipe them off the map.
To support the Global Work Party, Maldivian President Nasheed is personally installing solar panels on his home–just one of over over 4500 events taking place in 173 countries.

On behalf of President Nasheed, we're in the midst of sending this powerful letter out to 350.org's entire global network:
Dear friends,
As President of one of the world's most climate vulnerable countries, I want to thank you for your tireless work and offer my wholehearted support for the Global Work Party on 10/10/10.
I shall be working hard in support of 10/10/10, up on my roof installing solar panels donated by Sungevity. But my event is just one of dozens of activities planed in the Maldives and thousands worldwide in support of this campaign.
I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to continue working to ensure that the planet meets the sustainable goal of returning CO2concentrations to 350ppm.
For the Maldives, 350 is more than just a number: it is a passport to survival for our entire nation.
With best wishes,
President Mohamed Nasheed President of the Maldives
