The climate crisis threatens Asia’s coastal cities, and Jakarta is no exception. The
extreme rise in sea level threatens Jakarta, Indonesia’s capital and business center.
The country is predicted to suffer losses of up to 68 billion US dollars. As a coastal city,
Jakarta has the potential to sink by 2030. The climate crisis causes rising sea levels.
The impact is no joke; a double threat hits Jakarta, the capital city. In addition to the
threat of drowning, Jakarta is also predicted to experience economic losses. Several
economic sectors have been hit hard enough to shut down trade flows. Fast and precise
steps are necessary so that Indonesia can avoid the predictions of drowning and the
potential loss of trillions of rupiah.
