From toxic haze and extreme heat to flooding and shifting disease patterns, climate-related risks are placing growing pressure on public health systems across Asia. Experts say stronger prevention, better data and deeper cross-border cooperation will be critical to building resilience.
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.
A strengthening El Niño threatens to fuel major fires across Indonesia’s peatlands and mineral soils during this year’s dry season.
