Jakarta, IndonesiaSentinel.com — Climate change is becoming increasingly evident and could lead to severe consequences, including natural disasters and disruptions to sustainable development. Environmental expert Emil Salim has raised concerns over the rising threat of Indonesian islands sinking, emphasizing the need for urgent action.

Speaking at the Global Forum for Sustainable Resilience held at JIEXPO Kemayoran, Jakarta, on Wednesday, September 11, 2024, Emil called for collaborative efforts between nations, particularly ASEAN countries and the global community, to combat the impacts of climate change.

“The rising sea levels in Indonesia will cause several Indonesian islands to sink within the next 20 years,” Emil stated. He pointed out that the threat of submerging islands is particularly severe for Indonesia and other island nations in the Pacific, such as Fiji.

Emil stressed that the rising water levels are already affecting parts of Indonesia, including the northern coast of Java and eastern regions of the country. The sinking of Indonesian islands, driven by climate change, presents a major challenge that requires both local and international cooperation to ensure resilience and sustainability.

He further explained that increasing ocean temperatures would force marine biodiversity to migrate to cooler waters, severely impacting equatorial islands.

“This will be most devastating for islands near the equator, where many species will be forced to leave in search of cooler habitats,” Emil added.

To address these challenges, Emil advocates for a holistic approach that links climate change, natural disasters, and sustainable development.

He highlighted the role of science and technology in finding innovative solutions. One such approach is desalination technology, which could help convert seawater into freshwater, providing an alternative in regions where rainfall is insufficient.

Additionally, Emil proposed using genetic manipulation, such as modifying rice plants, to better adapt to changing environmental conditions brought about by climate change.

The warning about Indonesian islands sinking highlights the urgent need for collaborative and scientific approaches to mitigate the effects of climate change and ensure the long-term sustainability of island nations.
