BMKG forecasts that the drier, drier and warmer season in the southern ASEAN region is expected to run from August to October 2019. This can lead to an increase in hotspots and increase the risk of transboundary smog in the region. The roadmap will serve as a strategic framework, action and timetable for the implementation of joint measures to control transboundary tidal pollution in the ASEAN region, with a view to achieving a vision for transboundary ASEAN by 2020. For more information on ASEAN cooperation in transboundary control of drought pollution, see ASEAN Haze Action Online (haze.asean.org/) Given the different periods of the traditional dry season in northern (Mekong) and southern ASEAN, two subregional ministerial steering committees on transboundary drought pollution have been established to address specific duel problems in the regions concerned: the Subregional Committee for Pollution Control by Pollution (MSC), composed of Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand; and the Subregional Steering Committee on Transboundary Redness Pollution in the Greater Mekong Subregion (MSC Mekong), which includes Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam. Msc and MSC-Mekong met annually separately. Under the agreement, the ASEAN Coordination Centre for the Transboundary Control of Opacity Pollution (ACC) was established to facilitate cooperation and coordination between the parties to address the effects of land and/or forest fires, in particular pollution caused by such fires. Currently, the ASEAN Secretariat serves as an interim ACC. According to Agus Justianto, one form of Indonesian engagement in fighting forest and land fires is the government`s determination to protect peatland areas from drying up by implementing appropriate governance rules, namely that peatland managers must establish sewer barriers and regulate water management in order to maintain regional humidity and that the willingness of local governments and officials to fight forest and land fires is a priority to be addressed. Improved. On 10 June 2002, following serious land fires and forest fires between 1997 and 1998, the ASEAN Member States (AMS) signed in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the ASEAN Agreement on Transboundary Dunst Pollution (AATHP) to prevent, monitor and mitigate land and forest fires to control transboundary pollution of the dunst through concerted national efforts and regional cooperation. and international.
The agreement entered into force in 2003 and has been ratified by all ASEAN member states. The agreement contains measures: at the meeting, Dr Agus Justianto said that the Indonesian government is committed to increasing vigilance and surveillance and stepping up smog prevention efforts to minimise the possibility of transboundary smog during the dry season. Seskemenko PMK led the Indonesian delegation during the 25th.
