Indonesia, with over 17,000 islands, is among the countries most vulnerable to rising sea levels, storms, flooding and seismic activity. Jakarta, in particular, is experiencing severe land subsidence — with some areas sinking by as much as 25 centimetres per year — which, coupled with tidal surges, has led to increasingly frequent and severe flooding.
