Local Efforts

  • Miami Forever Bond: Allocates $400 million for infrastructure upgrades, such as improved drainage systems and elevated roads.
  • Mangrove Restoration: Projects aimed at restoring mangrove forests to act as natural barriers against storm surges.
  • Regulatory Changes: Stricter building codes to require construction at higher elevations and improved floodproofing.

Statewide/Federal Support:

  • Resilience Planning: Florida’s Resilient Coastlines Program assists in planning and funding adaptation strategies.
  • Federal Grants: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) supports projects to reduce flood risks.

Jakarta, Indonesia

Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, is a sprawling megacity located on the northwest coast of the island of Java. With a population exceeding 10 million in the city proper and over 30 million in the greater metropolitan area, it is one of the largest urban centers in the world. Jakarta faces extreme flooding and land subsidence, compounded by sea level rise, similar to Miami.

Impact on Region

  • Displacement: Thousands of residents relocate yearly due to flooding.
  • Infrastructure Damage: Roads, schools, and hospitals suffer extensive damage.

Effect Globally

  • Economic Costs: Jakarta's struggles reflect challenges for global trade, as it is a major port city.
  • Climate Migration: Similar to Miami, climate refugees from Jakarta highlight the global need for coordinated action.

Impact on Environment

  • Sea Level Rise: Miami experiences "sunny day flooding" or king tides, where seawater floods streets even without rain.
  • Hurricanes: Climate change has increased hurricane intensity, leading to more storm surges and coastal erosion.
  • Heatwaves: Rising temperatures strain urban ecosystems and energy demands.

Impact on Humans

  • Property Damage: Coastal properties face chronic flooding and devaluation.
  • Health Issues: Increased humidity and heat intensify health risks like heatstroke, while stagnant floodwaters foster diseases.

Impact on Animals

  • Habitat Loss: Coastal and marine habitats, including mangroves and coral reefs, are deteriorating due to warmer waters and higher salinity.
  • Biodiversity Decline: Fish, birds, and other species reliant on coral reefs face extinction as reefs bleach and degrade.
