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.
Mitigation is essential as it limits future dangers, but adaptation protects people from existing risks.
Nepal floods bring renewed focus on neighbour Bhutan’s efforts to protect its economically crucial – but debt generating – hydro infrastructure and trade with India.
