The Panama port of call will approach an essential facet of the social impact of climate change: the means of sustainable existence for local populations. In particular, temperature changes greatly affect the production of rural communities: crops and animal farming will have to take into account new constraints and look for more sustainable modes of production. Furthermore, climate change will put our water supplies in jeopardy.

This stopover will mark the opportunity to look into all facets of these threats and to consider the solutions which have been proposed in order to limit risks on the international scale.
