Newsweek took it upon itself this week to highlight 10 current world leaders who have managed to win serious respect during their time in power.
President of the Maldives, Mohamed Nasheed, was credited as a hero among environmentalists. From hosting underwater cabinet meetings to being quoted by Al Gore and shaming rich countries in Copenhagen, President Nasheed was also elected as a UN 2010 Champion of the Earth.
Interestingly, none of the other leaders listed by Newsweek were complemented for their climate change tackling skills. Who else should be part of the list?
