Cities worldwide are sinking as groundwater extraction and rapid development drive land subsidence – but stark differences within cities are exposing some communities to far greater flood risks.
Economic development should no longer be measured solely by how much finance is mobilised or how much fiscal space is created. It must also be judged by whether countries emerge more capable of setting their own priorities, responding to challenges, and seizing new opportunities to shape their own future.
Governments in our region and beyond must plan today for tomorrow's floods, in a warming world. Regret can be minimised, if not eliminated.
Electric vehicles can reduce pollution and emissions. But underlying issues of preserving car dependence, displacing environmental harm and workers bearing the costs of a clean future need to be addressed.
