North Jakarta, Indonesia. 16th Aug, 2016. Fisherman got his catch as he fishing behind the old concrete sea wall. Jakarta sinking by between and 17 centimetres a year, more than 10 times faster than the sea is rising. Governments will split the trillion rupiah ($263 million) cost for the first 8 kilometres of the wall. Developers would put up the remaining 24 kilometres by 2030 in exchange for the right to build on reclaimed land. © Anton Raharjo/Pacific Press/Alamy Live News
