Jakarta The Fastest Sinking City In The World

A view of public cemetery which submerged by flood waters from rising sea levels on July 18, 2020 in North Jakarta, Indonesia. Since the 1970s, parts of Jakarta have sunk more than four metres, at a rate of up to 25 centimetres a year. The Indonesian capital of Jakarta is home to 10 million people but it is also one of the fastest-sinking cities in the world. About 40 percent of Jakarta now lies below sea level.
