With the start of early wildfires, the Nepali capital, Kathmandu, is shrouded in a thick layer of smog and dust, reducing visibility and further plummeting the air quality to the Very Unhealthy category on January 21, 2025. The Kathmandu Valley, a bowl-shaped, densely populated area, always faces the problem of air pollution as smog and dust accumulate after a fall in temperature. Furthermore, the forest fire fuels the pollution by emitting smoke as the dry season and absence of winter rain continue for the year.

Heavy machinery operates at a coal mining site in South Kalimantan, Indonesia, on December 8, 2024. Environmental activists express concern about the slow growth of renewable energy and the continued reliance on coal. This is particularly concerning because, in 2001, Indonesia has 93.8 million hectares of primary forest, covering more than 50% of its total land area. By 2023, Indonesia loses 292 thousand hectares (kha) of primary forest, equivalent to 221 million tons of CO2 emissions. Of this loss, 144 kha is located within Indonesia's official forest land cover classes and has a patch size larger than two hectares. Coal consumption in Indonesia surges in the last decade. In 2013, Indonesia's coal consumption is recorded at 72.07 million tons. This figure jumps to 138.42 million tons in 2019 and further increases to 212.87 million tons in 2023. Meanwhile, the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) acknowledges that Indonesia is still dependent on coal to meet its energy needs and will require a significant amount of time to transition away from this dependency.

An eye-level view is capturing the process of forest degradation where part of the Leuser Ecosystem forest area is being converted into an oil palm plantation in Indonesia, on June 6, 2018. The Non-Governmental Organization Sustainable Forest Advocacy (Lembahtari) is protesting against several oil palm plantations within the Gunung Leuser National Park area, especially on the border between the provinces of Aceh and North Sumatra. ''This six-year-old palm oil plantation is currently absorbing the community's water pockets in the Gunung Leuser protected forest area and has led to a series of flood disasters,'' says Lembahtari Chairman, Sayed Zainal.
