Sinking into disaster DW 11/25/2024

Climate activists and authorities are doing everything they can to stop this process.

In addition to Indonesia's plastic waste, thousands of tonnes are smuggled into the country each year despite a ban imposed in 2019. Improperly disposed of, much of it ends up in the sea and rivers.

On the island of Bali, brothers Gary and Kelly founded an organization to remove masses of waste from waterways. To do this, they and their teams built around 200 floating barriers. Thanks to their efforts, more than 1,700 tons of waste have been properly disposed of or recycled since 2020.

In Java, Daru Setyorini campaigns against environmental pollution. This Indonesian woman heads the “Ecoton” organization. Darus laboratory tests repeatedly detect microplastic particles in food. Indeed, many factories use plastic waste as fuel, including in food production.

Meanwhile, residents of Jakarta, soon to become the former capital, face another environmental problem: Due to global warming and excessive extraction of groundwater, the country's largest city is sinking several centimeters every year – around 40% of the urban area is now below sea level. Environmental experts warn that a third of Jakarta could be permanently flooded by 2050 if subsidence continues at the current rate . While former President Joko Widodo approved the project to build the new capital Nusantara on the island of Borneo in August 2019, authorities and specialists are building a dike to protect Jakarta from rising waters.
