According to Avaaz.org, as ocean levels begin to rise, small island nations such as the Maldives face a growing risk of catastrophic flooding and other environmental damage. A group of these nations, which have already begun preparing evacuations plans, will table a resolution next week asking the UN Security Council to recognize global warming as a serious threat to international peace and security.
In order to help their campaign, Avaaz.org has prepared a petition to be presented to the Security Council by the islands' ambassadors, to demonstrate that citizens of many nations are concerned about the impact of climate change on these tiny countries.
If you would like to sign the petition, or simply watch the video, which includes more information about the campaign, please follow this link.
