Highly polluted regions such as the Citarum River in Indonesia, Niger River Delta in Nigeria, Kabwe in Zambia, New Delhi in India, and China’s Tianying will show the cost of unconstrained development.

In those regions, it is indicated what is at stake, in case unsustainable practices do not change, to enforce global commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable growth. Costs will continue to rise for generations to come without immediate action.
