11.38 AM #BKK time on 22 January 2023, and current #AQI conditions in #SoutheastAsia place #Hanoi #Yangon and #ChiangMai at 6th, 18th, and 20th worst, respectively among major #global cities for #toxic #airpollution. Profoundly bad #airquality, a continuing dubious distinction for the #ASEAN region. #SDG3 #SDG11, Not.

The 3000 ha. #Bangtaeng #industrial park is part of #president #Jokowi's agenda to proliferate #Ni ore production in #Indonesia (at least some of which is #Chinese backed, e.g., #Huadi Intl. Group), seemingly irrespective of facility #toxic dust emissions that coats #plants, #fruits, #homes, and #ppl, w/reports of #healthimpacts. The solution? Uprooting & relocating #communities. Questions remain about Huadi's community #landgrab & incomplete #EIA statement. #SDG11, not.

The #NorthMaluku provincial govt. terminated an #MOU w/ #Bali-based company PT Leadership Islands #Indonesia (LII) when it was found that LII was working w/ #Sothebys to auction off to developers land from over 100 islands that incl. the 25K acre #WidiReserve, and sparsely populated
#communities. LII claimed that only a 'small' % would be developed. It always begins w/the 'promise' of limited commercial 'incursion,' only to be followed by waves of #wastepollution. #SDG11

#Greenroof innovations for #urban areas are often praised for serving as #heatsinks #GHG sinks, and helping mitigate flood impact. Less often recognised benefits incl., their utility in absorbing, and thus reducing #toxic #airpollution, and (that by) helping reduce the magnitude of urban flooding concomitantly helps to limit roadway #chemical #runoff into nearby surface water.
