Indonesia's capital has committed to increase green open spaces from 10% to 30% of the city's 662 km2 by 2030 as part of the city's Climate Action Plan. Seeing public green spaces reduced almost 78% in the past 40 years in the city, while also experiencing steady population growth and regular flooding events, Jakarta needed a solution. To reach the 30% target, Jakarta has begun building parks through the Green Open Space and Child-Friendly Integrated Public Spaces program. (Photo by Afriadi Hikmal/NurPhoto)
