jakarta is sinkining. irvan: when the groundwater is being extracted very much, and we lose our water catchment, the surface and the soil is sinking. we have water extraction, and then came along climate change in the last 20 years. the climate change impact is doubling the vulnerability of the city because it is already below water naturally. michael: rising sea levels and sinking soil. the city needs more long-term solutions. pulungan used to be an environmental activist who campaigned for the rights of fishermen. nowadays, he advises the governor of jakarta and is part of a team working to stop the city from disappearing into the ground. he's well aware that anything he plans will have an impact on fishing. there are some 22,000 fishermen inin jakarta. these people harvest green mussels from the bay, a local specialty. they're cooked right on the beach. four years ago, the city authorities began building a chain of artificial islands off the northern coast to slow down land subsidence. it's had a seriou

we have to move to a new location i think you have to divide the issues of jakarta facing old is dangerous as you say it's sinking faster in the northern part in particular air pollution traffic congestion and all that with the idea of. having jakarta as a capital city you know i think president djoko we don't mention in his announcement that when he move the capital from jakarta to distil locations jack carter will not necessarily be abandon will not necessarily be neglected or forgotten even jakarta will always face those problems but the city has been the center of social cultural economic politics life of the country for so long so perhaps by moving. part of that center the political center the economic center jakarta would be able to face these issues that it's been having a little bit easier without having to worry that this is also the capital city of the country but then again we're talking about past governments the squabbles squandered billions of dollars there's embezzled of public funds massive corruption so they seem to have forgotten the core issues which is the need to furth

we cannot continue the burden of jakarta and the island of java which is getting heavier in terms of population density severe traffic congestion air pollution and water problems that we must immediately deal with the place we've chosen has a minimum risk of natural disasters such as floods earthquakes tsunamis forest fires volcanoes and landslides secondly the location is strategic i dislocated in the center of indonesia and thirdly it's close to other developed cities. now jakarta is not the only major coastal city threatened by climate change shanghai is consistently listed as one of the world's most vulnerable water extraction massive infrastructure have caused the city to sink 2.6 meters and if temperatures continue to rise millions of inhabitants could be displaced the nigerian city of lagos suffers from the affairs of rising sea levels and the lack of adequate drainage makes the flooding worse it's estimated at 20 centimeter rise in sea water would make 3 quarters of a 1000000 people homeless in the us parts of the flood prone city of houston have been sinking around 5 centime
