Indonesia's forest fires: igniting tensions in Southeast Asia
Indonesia's forest fires: igniting tensions in Southeast Asia
Jakarta’s failure to tackle illegal burning is threatening its relations with its neighboursThe 2015 UN Conference on Climate Change in Paris concluded, as expected, with mixed results: the reaffirmation of old pledges to tackle global warming, plus new pledges, of which some will be realised and others will be quietly forgotten. Still, there is a sense of optimism that the international commitment is there: for instance, China, the country with the highest levels of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, has shut down a significant number of coal power plants, resulting in a near 4 per cent reduction in its GHG emissions.

Abstract
Jakarta’s failure to tackle illegal burning is threatening its relations with its neighboursThe 2015 UN Conference on Climate Change in Paris concluded, as expected, with mixed results: the reaffirmation of old pledges to tackle global warming, plus new pledges, of which some will be realised and others will be quietly forgotten. Still, there is a sense of optimism that the international commitment is there: for instance, China, the country with the highest levels of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, has shut down a significant number of coal power plants, resulting in a near 4 per cent reduction in its GHG emissions.
