Indonesia, the sinking archipelago

Part of the Indonesian archipelago is being swamped by the sea. On the northern coast of the island of Java, the villages are constantly flooded. Jakarta, the capital city, is slowly sinking. Is there still time to prevent the worst happening or limit the damage? Can the tragedy be contained?

Guests: Raphaële Schapira, author of "Indonésie, l'archipel englouti" (Indonesia, the sinking archipelago); Cyrille Honoré, specialist in risk reduction with the World Meteorological Organization.

Presented by: Dominique Laresche.
