Due to the increase in world population, the use of natural resources has increased. In particular, the burning of fossil fuels increases the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. As the temperature of the earth increases, the ice areas melt and the sea level on the earth continues to rise.
Due to rising sea level, the areas along the coasts are gradually submerging. In particular, large cities are on the brink of extinction.
Jakarta, Indonesia
Jakarta is located very close to the Java Sea. Soil erosion is already rampant here due to sea level rise. To meet the water needs of the urban population, groundwater is being absorbed to a great extent. It is said that in this environment, the city of Jakarta will sink into the sea.
