Climate lesson, swim lesson

COPENHAGEN: Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi hesitates for a while before making up his mind. He jumps down and struggles for breath. Finally, he is able to catch his breath and moves around with ease.

The people surrounding him are cheering: "Great, grandma, now you know how to swim."

The short skit shows how women have to learn swimming as one way to adapt to severe floods caused by climate change. It is being performed every morning, noon and afternoon at the entrance of the Bella Center, where government officials from 192 countries are in deep negotiations for an agreement upon which the countries can work together to mitigate global warming.
