The Maldives are the country that probably has more debated and placed on media agenda the theme of climate change, and the reason is simple â€" will be one of the first to disappear with the increase of the mean sea level.

The Intergovernmental Panel on climate change reported in 2007 that if the mean sea level rise a mere 59 cm by 2100, an optimistic forecast, most of the 200 uninhabited islands would be under water â€" the Maldives have 1990 coral islands, grouped into 26 atolls chain.

One of these uninhabited islands, however, may soon change its status. According to British media, the Maldivian Government has put for sale on the island of Orivaru, a piece of land shaped like a pancake, for €10,6 million (US $ 32.2 million).

Taking into account what has been done to tackle climate change, will probably be money lying on the street for any entrepreneur or a millionaire, even though the island come with permission to build a hotel and spa.

With 14 acres and located at 45 minutes from the capital Malé, the island of Orivaru is one of 71 that belong to the archipelago of Noonu Atolls and is being sold by the Debutesq Group. "There's nothing on the island. Is completely Virgin, "explained Alan O'Connor, director-general of the group.

The Ministry of tourism will allow the construction of near 100 rooms and villas overlooking the Indian Ocean. How long do these possible constructions will be safe from water? This is another issue that's of little or nothing, probably will appeal to the persons concerned.
