This photo taken on October 8, 2018 shows an elementary student wading through floodwaters in Mabalacat, Pampanga. - Areas north of Manila like the provinces of Pampanga and Bulacan have sunk four-six centimetres (1.5-2.4 inches) a year since 2003, according to satellite monitoring. The creeping bay waters put people and property at risk, while the threat is amplified by high-tides and flooding brought by the roughly 20 storms that pound the archipelago every year. AFP

FILE - In this April 4, 2013, file photo, a mechanized shovel loads a haul truck that can carry up to 250 tons of coal at the Spring Creek coal mine near Decker, Mont. Federal officials say the Trump administration's decision to lift a moratorium on coal sales from public lands could hasten the release of more than 5 billion tons of greenhouse gasses. The report comes after a court ruled last month that the administration failed to consider the environmental effects of its resumption in 2017 of coal sales. A moratorium had been imposed under President Barack Obama over worries about climate change. AP

A general view of Maidan, or the open field, scattered with plastic though known as the lungs of Kolkata, India, 13 February 2019. Maidan is the largest urban park in Kolkata and is the site for all sports, entertainment, and relaxation, with the Victoria Memorial building seen in the background. India scores badly in air quality ratings with 25 of the world's 50 most polluted cities located in India.
