The entire center of Kiruna moves because of the giant mine that dominates the region. Underground mining is cost-effective and enables a high level of mechanization and automation. However, it causes deformations in the surface ground that, beyond a certain threshold, can render it impossible to maintain any infrastructure or residential areas in those locations.

Muslims perform Eid al-Adha 1446 H prayers on a sea embankment in the Kampung Nelayan area of Cilincing, North Jakarta, Indonesia, on June 6, 2025. The Jakarta Giant Sea Wall is part of the National Capital Integrated Coastal Development (NCICD) project that begins in 2014 and targets completion in 2027 to protect Jakarta from tidal flooding and land subsidence of 5-20 cm per year. The threat is exacerbated by rising sea levels due to global warming, making the construction of the embankment a crucial step for the capital's coastal protection.
