First Award | Aldys Tofan

Category: Urban Space
Profession: Student
City: Jakarta, Indonesia
Caption: JAKARTA 2120 Coastal cities across the world are affected because of rising sea levels caused by climate change. Increased sea levels occur because of thermal expansion – the water expanding because of extra heat – and the melting of polar ice. The speed at which Jakarta is sinking is alarming experts. The dramatic rate at which Jakarta is sinking is partly down to the excessive extraction of groundwater for use as drinking water, for bathing and other everyday purposes by city dwellers. Piped water isn’t reliable or available in most areas so people have no choice but to resort to pumping water from the aquifers deep underground. On the other hand, our government has a solution to stay alive. Yes, solution for the government and the rich only. Since a long time ago, the 5th principle in Pancasila is only a sentence without any real implementation. “Social justice for those with money” fits the situation better. The future belongs only to the rich. The poor can only live side by side with dirts and tightness of air.
