Program Title: Terra Informa - Seaon 9, Episode 28 - Climate Change and Democracy in Maldives
Description: Maldives took on a leadership role in the fight against climate change following the country's first democratic elections in 2008, and has been outspoken at international negotiations. But a military coup in February has thrown the island nation's records on climate change and democracy into question. Today we speak to a Maldivian activist about what's happening in the country. We talk to a scientist who's on the leading edge of photovoltaics research. Dr. Jillian Buriak is working to make plastic solar panels a reality and bring a thin, flexible, and very cheap source of power to millions of people who live without electricity.
Host(s): Derek Horneland
Featured Speakers/Guests: Zaheena Rasheed - Maldivian democracy and climate justice activist; Dr. Jillian Buriak - Chemist, National Institute for Nanotechnology
