Why Jakarta is sinking
#54News & Politics

Why Jakarta is sinking

The 400-year curse dragging Indonesia's capital into the sea.Subscribe to our channel! http://goo.gl/0bsAjOLike many coastal cities around the world, Jakarta is dealing with sea level rise. But Indonesia's biggest city also has a unique problem: Because of restricted water access in the city, the majority of its residents have to extract groundwater to survive. And it's causing the city to sink. Today, Jakarta is the world’s fastest-sinking city.The problem gets worse every year, but the root of it precedes modern Indonesia by centuries. In the 1600s, when the Dutch landed in Indonesia and built present-day Jakarta, they divided up the city to segregate the population. Eventually, that segregation led to an unequal water piping system that excluded most Indigenous Jakartans, forcing them to find other ways to get water.To understand how it all ties together, and what’s in store for Jakarta’s future, watch the video above.

How rich countries are making the pandemic last longer

How rich countries are making the pandemic last longer

A program called Covax wants to distribute Covid-19 vaccines fairly. Is it working?Subscribe to our channel! http://goo.gl/0bsAjOEarly in the Covid-19 pandemic, many of the world’s richest countries poured money into the race for a vaccine. Billions of dollars, from programs like the US’s Operation Warp Speed, funded development that brought us multiple Covid-19 vaccines in record time. But it also determined where those vaccines would go. Before vaccine doses had even hit the market, places like the US and the UK had bought up nearly the entire supply.This turns out to be an old story. In nearly every modern global health crisis, from smallpox to malaria to H1N1, rich countries have bought up vital medical supplies, making poor countries wait sometimes decades for life-saving support. It’s effectively a system in which where you live determines whether you live or die of a preventable disease. Leaving a disease like Covid-19 to spread unchecked in some places also gives it a chance to mutate -- and variants of the virus are already raising alarms. So: how do we get vaccines to countries that can’t afford them?One solution underway is called Covax. It’s a program co-led by the World Health Organization; Gavi, The Vaccine Alliance; and the Coalition of Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI). Its goal is to get vaccines to lower- and middle-income countries at the same time as rich countries. So how is it supposed to do that? And will it be enough?More from Vox.com’s Julia Belluz + Jen Kirby on Covax and vaccine nationalism:https://www.vox.com/21448719/covid-19-vaccine-covax-who-gavi-cepihttps://www.vox.com/2021/2/24/22298981/ghana-vaccines-global-covax-initiativehttps://www.vox.com/2021/1/29/22253908/rich-countries-hoarding-covid-19-vaccinesDuke Global Health Innovation Center data: https://launchandscalefaster.org/covid-19/vaccineprocurementMore on vaccine nationalism:https://www.oxfam.org/en/press-releases/campaigners-warn-9-out-10-people-poor-countries-are-set-miss-out-covid-19-vaccinehttps://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2021/02/04/963741244/in-vaccine-race-middle-income-nations-are-at-a-disadvantage-just-ask-peruMore on the H1N1 pandemic:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2864298/https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-resources/2009-pandemic-timeline.htmlVox.com is a news website that helps you cut through the noise and understand what's really driving the events in the headlines.

Why 99% of ocean plastic pollution is missing

Why 99% of ocean plastic pollution is missing

The plastic we dump into the ocean might be hiding in plain sight. Subscribe to our channel! http://goo.gl/0bsAjOVox.com is a news website that helps you cut through the noise and understand what's really driving the events in the headlines. Check out http://www.vox.com.For the past several years scientists have been trying to account for the 8 million metric tonnes of plastic that we dump into the ocean each year. The assumption was that a large portion of it was floating out in one of the large garbage patches, where swirling debris accumulates thanks to ocean gyres. But recent measurements of the amount of trash in the patches fell far short of what’s thought to be out there. Scientists are getting closer to an answer, which could help clean-up efforts and prevent further damage to marine life and ocean ecosystems. For more reading, check out this New Yorker article on the missing plastic problem, which inspired this video: https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/where-does-all-the-plastic-goLaurent Lebreton’s research that estimates the amount of debris in the garbage patches is here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-22939-wFor more about Ocean Conservancy’s work, and their annual international beach cleanup events: https://oceanconservancy.org/For more reading about Erik Van Sebille’s work: http://erik.vansebille.com/For more reading about Melanie Bergmann’s work: https://www.theverge.com/2021/1/12/22226655/microplastics-laundry-wastewater-plastic-pollution-arctic-oceanWatch our full video catalog: http://goo.gl/IZONyEFollow Vox on Facebook: http://goo.gl/U2g06oOr Twitter: http://goo.gl/XFrZ5H
