The climate talks in Copenhagen will take place December 7-18, 2009. Their objective is a big one: to get global consensus on climate change policies (of which there are many levels!). Most people think of climate mitigation, that is reducing emissions by cutting down on greenhouse gases to a certain level. There is also climate adaptation, which is about the best strategies to adapt to a world with a different climate. The Voyage of Kiri focuses on climate adaptation of coastal areas, which are particularly vulnerable to sea level rise, extreme weather conditions, and water scarcity.
