The President of Maldives, Mohamed Nasheed, called for urgent United Nations reforms and making India and Brazil as permanent members of the Security Council.

Delivering an address on 'Environment and Conflict Resolution' at Observer Research Foundation in Delhi, Mr. Nasheed said climate change is a "more serious threat to the international order than Islamic radicalism, piracy or sharing of resources."

The Maldives President said when the world wants India and other developing countries "to do this and that to fight climate change, they should be made permanent members of the UN Security Council".

Asking India to do everything possible to save frontline state like Maldives, the President said "we are asking nothing short of saving the world. I would ask India to do it, instead of asking anyone else to do it."

The President argued that climate change is a real threat. "If we believe in science, and two plus two is four, the climate change is happening and it is a great threat to the world".

Regretting that negotiations are not proceeding the way it should have, the Maldives President said "we don't want Copenhagen to come out with an empty piece of paper. We want a solid piece of paper, with the guarantee for our security and the security of the world."
