The Maldives Islands have set an ambitious target: The Island state wants to become climate neutral until 2020. In this context the Maldive Tourism Ministry and myclimate have signed a Memorandum of Understanding at the World Tourism Forum in Lucerne. Target is to create a fund that should allow to realize investments in low carbon infrastructure and technology for a low carbon future on the Maldives. Financing of the fund should be done by the carbon-compensation mechanism.
