If the temperature increases by 1 more degree, most glaciers will melt and 10% of the world’s population will be out of homes. #climatechange #sinkingcity #fridaymorning #venice #china #shanghai #neworleans

This is all happening really fast. If we don't act on the issue of sinking cities soon, there will be many people and animals left with no home. #cities #savesinkingcities #sinkingcity

Jakarta is a hot spot for large floods. With the sea levels on the rise, it is only going to fast forward the sinking of this beautiful city #savesinkingcity #city #cities #ClimateChange #sealevelsrising

Active start to monsoon season in #Indonesia. Recent rainfall topped 15 inches (381 millimeters) at East #Jakarta Airport on January 1; highest one-day total since 1996. At least 30 people dead.

Jakarta remains one of the most flood-prone & fastest sinking cities in the world.

By the end of the century oceans are predicted to rise up to 2.5 meters, resulting in major flooding in coastal cities around the world. Check out this photo & video exhibit @UMich part of The Sinking Cities Project that aims to document these changes. https://t.co/RSiTyoSaEX

Here is an interesting fact about Lagos, Nigeria. With our sea levels on the rise, it won't be too long before Lagos fully submerges underwater #lagos #Nigeria #savesinkingcity #savesinkingcities #city #cities #ClimateChange #doyourpart #share

Stakeholders are an independent party that can affect or be affected by an issue. You might be wondering if any major stakeholders complicate the issue of sinking cities, and the answer is yes. Citizens, the government and companies are all examples of these stakeholders #cities

Here's an interesting fact about the city of Venice.The city is sinking extremely fast and although we can't stop it, we should try and lower the effect and timeline of its subsidence #sinkingcity #savesinkingcities #savesinkingcity #Venice #Italy #city #ClimateChange #doyourpart

Sinking cities have awful effects on animals. Some species can die and if this happens, it disrupts food chains. Meaning there isn't enough energy for animals at high trophic levels. If animals do migrate before the city submerges, they are technically invading another city #city

We must work together to slow down and minimize the effects of sinking cities. Here are some ways you can do your part and help!! Be a part of the solution #savesinkingcities #city #ClimateChange #help #sinkingcity

Buildings can be damaged as the city continues to submerge underwater. Many people will lose their homes and workplaces because of this. #sinkingcity #savesinkingcities #ClimateChange #damaged

[SAVE THE SINKING CITIES @savesinkingcity]

Overpopulation in other cities can result in many other problems. There might not be enough resources (like food, water, and shelter) in the region. #savesinkingcities #ClimateChange #resources #population #cities

[SAVE THE SINKING CITIES @savesinkingcity]

Sinking cities cause more damage, which requires money to be fixed. The tourism rate also goes down because of the increase in natural disasters. Both of these things cause a substantial setback to the cities economy #savesinkingcities #ClimateChange #economy

[SAVE THE SINKING CITIES @savesinkingcity]

Sinking Cities cause a tremendous amount of devastating effects. Some include Economical Effects, Overpopulation and Damage to Buildings. #savesinkingcities #ClimateChange #sinkingcity #economy #population #buildings

WHAT FACTORS IMPACT SINKING CITIES?
These are the three main factors that cause beautiful cities such as Venice, Shanghai, New Orleans, and many more to sink. Let’s come together and slow down the rate at which these cities are sinking! #sinkingcity #ClimateChange #environment

[SAVE THE SINKING CITIES @savesinkingcity]

Shanghai, China is sinking extremely fast. The main reason is because of the over-use of underground water. Due to Shanghai's large population, more extraction of groundwater is needed, resulting in the city subsiding. Do your part and share #savesinkingcities #ClimateChange
