This event highlights the city's vulnerability, with almost half of its landmass situated less than one metre above sea level."},{"type":"paragraph","text":"Benjamin Horton, a professor of earth science at City University of Hong Kong, stated that climate change intensifies flood risks by interacting with rapid urbanisation and land subsidence. He explained that a warming climate leads to rising sea levels and more intense downpours, which can overwhelm drainage systems, particularly in densely populated areas. Groundwater extraction further contributes to the problem by causing the ground to sink. These factors increase the likelihood of homes and businesses being inundated, disrupting transport, damaging infrastructure, and posing public health risks."},{"type":"paragraph","text":"In response to these challenges, Ho Chi Minh City launched a $13 billion plan in July aimed at mitigating flooding in 159 identified hotspots by 2030. The city also adopted a climate action plan through 2030 to upgrade drainage systems, expand green spaces, and improve its resilience to extreme weather events. Horton noted that rising sea levels impede drainage, while heavier rainfall increases the volume of water entering the city quickly. In a sinking city, water accumulates and recedes more slowly, leading to more frequent, deeper, and longer-lasting floods."},{"type":"heading","text":"Coverage comparison"},{"type":"heading","text":"What the coverage left out"},{"type":"paragraph","text":"None of the left-rated or centre-rated reports mentioned the specific date of July when the city launched its $13 billion flood mitigation plan.
