Description
Bali's iconic rice terraces, clinging to the steep slopes of active volcanoes that dominate the island, are the oldest continuous irrigation system on Earth. This video segment takes a look at the unique combination of religion and rice cultivation that has created a cooperative self-governing water-sharing system that involves tens of thousands of people. While this ancient hydro-culture has weathered natural change for more than a millennium, the climate change induced by industrial society brings new uncertainties. Take a peek at the UN Climate Conference in Bali, a crucial meeting of 190 governments with a potent mix of science and politics that could save the world.
