Peatlands and fires in Southeast Asia: A stocktake of knowledge products

Export citation

For more than two decades, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has recognized the transboundary problem of haze. The ASEAN Agreement on Transboundary Haze Pollution (AATHP) is the foundation for intergovernmental coordination in tackling transboundary haze in the region. AATHP and its implementing modalities include the ASEAN Peatland Management Strategy (APMS) and the ASEAN Roadmap on ASEAN Cooperation towards Transboundary Haze Pollution Control with Means of Implementation (ASEAN Haze-Free Roadmap). These modalities highlight the crucial role of sustainable peatland management in reducing transboundary haze pollution and improving peatland ecosystem governance.
