In a Pakistani village nestled in rice fields, Abdul Hafeez Khoso remembers the vast industrial zones he saw in Germany when he visited to file a pioneering climate legal case. “They’re spreading pollution: up in the sky there are no borders, it can affect anywhere,” the 43-year-old said, describing areas far larger than his village of 800 people. “This is a problem for the whole world – that is why it should be resolved at the global level.” Khoso and 38 other farmers from Pakistan’s southern...

Opinion | Singapore’s haze crackdown tests limits of sovere…
When pollution crosses borders, sovereignty becomes more complicated. Singapore can suffer the consequences of fires burning in Indonesia, yet it cannot simply send investigators into Indonesian territory. Its attempt to hold companies accountable through domestic law has exposed a deeper dilemma in Southeast Asia: how can a region built on territorial sovereignty govern economic activities whose environmental costs routinely cross national boundaries? In October, Singapore escalated its...

The amended Transboundary Pollution Haze Act will see penalties on such companies increase tenfold to a maximum fine of S$1 million (US$780,000) a day, capped at a total of S$20 million. The Act has been invoked twice...

The haze situation was worsened by the extended dry period, Wong added. Singapore had offered its assistance to Indonesia and would...

Singapore again ranked as the world’s most polluted city on Monday, according to Swiss-based air quality monitor IQAir, as the fires on Borneo and Sumatra islands – intensified by a turbocharged El Nino weather phenomenon – keep emitting toxic haze. The city state has rolled out subsidies for haze-related medical treatment and schools were closed in parts of neighbouring Malaysia, as both countries grapple with persistently unhealthy air quality due to fires in nearby Indonesia. The fires have...
