This year’s haze is set to cost Singapore more than 2015’s S$1.83 billion. Who pays for the losses?
Economists suggest the 2026 haze will cost Singapore more than the 2015 episode, while other estimates state that Malaysia is losing RM20 million (US$4.9 million) to RM50 million (US$12.3 million) a day. Seven companies have been served notices under Singapore's Transboundary Haze Pollution Act.
Extreme El Niño events, such as those that brought the droughts behind Southeast Asia’s haze crises in 1997 and 2015, could become more frequent the later the world reaches net zero, and stay that way for centuries, according to modelling led by the University of Melbourne.
Air quality in cities and districts across Southeast Asia has reached hazardous levels in recent weeks owing to transboundary haze from wildfires in Indonesia.
The authority overseeing Indonesia’s new capital city, Nusantara, confirmed on 9 September that fires had broken out within the new capital city administrative area, although the fires were around 30 kilometres (18.6 miles) from the core government buildings.
