savanna fire management
The Centre for Safe Air’s submission to the ACCU Savanna Fire Management Methods consultation argues that carbon crediting schemes must account for the significant health impacts of landscape fire smoke on Northern Territory communities. The submission emphasises that air pollution is “the single greatest environmental threat to human health” and that Darwin experiences Australia’s most severe PM2.5 pollution, with “95% of the air pollution problem… due to landscape fires.” Evidence indicates that early dry‑season pollution has worsened since ACCU savanna‑burning projects began.
