Located at the convergence of the Pacific, Eurasian and Australian plates, this country of 257 million inhabitants regularly has to deal with extreme natural phenomena. In 2004, the tsunami which devastated the region did not spare the province of Aceh, in the north of the island of Sumatra, and caused nearly 170,000 deaths. A tragedy still very present in the memory of the population, who fear the occurrence of other natural disasters. But Indonesia is also hit hard by the consequences of global warming. Every year, heavy rains cause flooding in the capital, Jakarta, crossed by no less than thirteen rivers. To save the city, which is sinking by 5 to 20 centimeters every year and 40% of its surface area is below sea level, the government has launched a colossal project: the construction of a giant seafront dike and seventeen artificial islands. Led by the Minister of the Environment, this program nevertheless worries some fishermen, who fear being forcibly moved far from their place of work. In addition, these artificial islands risk degrading the environment and the coastal ecosystem. Government, NGOs, civil society, scientists, all are trying to adapt the country to the challenge of climate change.
