Democracy Now! broadcasts live from inside COP 21, the U.N. Climate Change Conference, and from outside in the streets and activist centers in Paris, France. We are honored to offer this broadcast as part of our affiliation with the Pacifica Network.

Today’s broadcast looks at the growing fossil fuel divestment movement; a new report from Oxfam entitled Extreme Climate Inequality; and the situation in the Maldives.

THE ISLAND PRESIDENT tells the story of President Mohamed Nasheed of the Maldives, a man confronting a problem greater than any other world leader has ever faced. Image: video still.
