WHAT HAPPENED

Smoke from Indonesian wildfires has caused Singapore's worst air quality since 2019, while fires have also been reported at Indonesia's Mount Bromo. Wildfire emissions may put Indonesia's climate target at risk.

SO WHAT?

Severe cross-border haze increases respiratory risks and can disrupt daily life across densely populated Singapore.
