"The adverse #HealthImpacts of wildfire exposure are projected to increase under likely future #ClimateChange
scenarios.
The #economic effects of ongoing and intensifying wildfires are also far-reaching. [...] #Wildfires close roads and down powerlines, and the exposure of critical infrastructure to damaging burn areas is increasing [...]
The #GreenEnergy sector, critical to reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and mitigating future climate change, is also affected" [1]

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.

#EnergyData from #ourworldindata for #ASEAN (#Brunei #Cambodia #LaoPDR #Myanmar not available) allows one to reasonable infer that #healthimpacts from #toxic #airpollution are likely to persist across the region. % energy source breakdown in relative terms, and in terawatt-hours (by country), #oil + #coal
1. #Vietnam 71.35%, 856
2. #Thailand 60.98%, 848
3. #Indonesia 75.4%, 1698
4. #Philippines 85.6%, 447
5. #Malaysia 56.5%, 651
6. #Singapore 85.9%, 823

In 2018 a #toxic #cleanup of the #Cituram River (world's most polluted) was ordered by the #Indonesian govt. due to compelling evidence surfacing of the #healthimpacts to #communities residing downstream from indust. textile facilities sub-contracted by global clothing firms. The level of eco-degradation, and human #healthrisk arising from this situation raise serious questions about the nation's existing legal/regulatory framework, and unfettered economic motivations.
