Sea level rise may threaten Indonesia’s status as an archipelagic country by Dita Liliansa


Research Associate Dita Liliansa published a short commentary in The Conversation entitled “Sea level rise may threaten Indonesia’s status as an archipelagic country.” Her commentary responded to a new study that found 92 outermost islands of Indonesia have the potential to sink due to rising sea levels. She briefly analysed whether Indonesia can retain its archipelagic state status when some of its outermost islands from which its archipelagic baselines are drawn are submerged underwater. The commentary is available in English and in Bahasa Indonesia.
