On August 24, 2021, the Resilience Development Initiative (RDI) joined forces with esteemed partners, including Lancaster University, the University of Malaya, Institut Pertanian Bogor, and the World Resource Institute, to host a pivotal webinar titled “Transboundary Haze Pollution in Southeast Asia: Effects and Forest Fire Management in Indonesia.”

The primary aim of this event was to provide a robust platform for in-depth discussions centered on critical aspects of forest fire disaster risk management and community-driven initiatives. This webinar not only spotlighted the challenges associated with forest fire preparedness, mitigation, and response in Indonesia but also fostered a cross-border dialogue on these pressing issues.
