Moving the Capital Due to Sinking City

The Indonesian government plans to relocate its capital from Jakarta to the new city of Nusantara due to Jakarta sinking and being at risk from rising sea levels. Jakarta, home to over 10 million people, has about 40% of its area below sea level. The new city will be built on the eastern coast of Borneo and is expected to cost $35 billion, with a completion date set for 2045. Climate crisis concerns have prompted this move, marking a significant shift influenced by environmental factors.
