Connect new Macbook (USB-C) to dual-link DVI display?

I have a new Macbook (12 inch, Retina—love it), with a single USB-C socket. I also have an (old) Apple Cinema HD Display which would like a dual-link DVI connector.

How can I connect these two together? There doesn't seem to be a combination of Apple adapters/connectors that will do the job for me.

MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2016), OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
