The warming El Nino was a main contributor to 2023’s less severe haze episode in Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia. The phenomenon tapered off in mid-2024. Haze comes from the burning of peat and other vegetation in Indonesia, where fire is used to clear land for agricultural use or to get rid of agricultural waste.
In 2023, El Nino coincided with the positive Indian Ocean Dipole , another climate pattern that brings drier weather to the region. This made the dry season more severe than normal, but there were fewer fires in 2023 than in previous years, such as 2015 and 2019, when both climate phenomena coincided.
While he has pledged to continue with President Joko Widodo’s environmental policies, peatland restoration and carbon emissions reduction targets, the President-elect also aims to prioritise economic growth and food security. “There will, therefore, be caution about any plantation and farmland expansion in fire-prone areas, or areas with large amounts of untouched primary forest, such as Papua,” said the report.
