Clean air, free from haze is a basic human right. And yet we have been facing haze almost yearly, made worse during dry seasons.
The threat of harm is even stronger as we live through a worldwide pandemic as studies have shown air pollution may be linked to an increase in Covid-19 severity and lethality (European Respiratory review).
To prevent further damage, CERAH Anti-Haze Action and Greenpeace Malaysia alongside several local allies, are campaigning for core solutions to pollution from domestic and transboundary haze by:
1. Advocating for a Transboundary Haze Pollution Act (THPA) and;
2. Calling for an independent public inquiry and investigation by the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (SUHAKAM) to protect our basic human right to clean air.
