Minister says no regional mechanism to claim costs for cross-border haze

Original: 火

A minister has said there is currently no regional mechanism allowing countries to claim compensation for cross-border smoke haze, and that the polluter-pays principle exists only as a guideline each country can implement on its own. The remarks underline the limits of regional cooperation on haze caused by land and forest fires, leaving affected nations without a formal route to hold polluters accountable across borders.

Why now: Ongoing fires and haze are raising public frustration over the lack of cross-border accountability.
