The red rating signifies the highest risk level for transboundary haze in the region. The forecast is primarily influenced by predictions of a severe dry spell caused by the El Niño effect
The latest Haze Outlook 2023 report, released by the Singapore Institute of International Affairs , has issued a warning about a high risk of severe haze occurring in Southeast Asia in the coming year. While not projected to be as severe as the devastating haze of 2015, the report advises individuals and governments to be prepared for potential haze-related challenges.
Despite the red rating, the report acknowledges the progress made by Indonesia and other ASEAN countries in strengthening law enforcement, improving fire prevention and suppression, and reducing deforestation. These efforts have contributed to a significant decline in deforestation rates. Even in the event of a severe heatwave, the report suggests that outcomes can be mitigated compared to the record-breaking haze incidents witnessed during the heatwaves of 1997 and 2015.
