Rising sea levels are a growing worry for many coastal cities around the world. While all are expected to be impacted, some like Indonesia's capital Jakarta, are more vulnerable. Located in the northwest coast of the Java Sea, Southeast Asia's most populous city lies on a low flat basin at the mouth of the Ciliwung River on the Jakarta Bay. Though its average elevation is 8-meters (26 feet), 40% of the city lies below sea level and is sinking by as much as six inches, annually. Experts speculate that if this pace continues, much of northern Jakarta will be underwater by 2030.

lilchicken9년 이상Matthew- 1.Jakarta is vulnerable to sinking because there is no way to protect it yet. Other countries are helping Jakarta. They are soon going to build a wall in the next years. 2. The government wants to stop the flooding of Jakarta. Their plan is to build a wall and various islands to stop the flooding. 3. Some of the hurdles they face are spending so much money and using o much materials. I think the author is impressed by the government because their government want to spend money to fix the flooding problem.
