Swiss air quality technology company IQAir has named Indonesia's capital city the most polluted in the world. The city has a population of more than 10 million.

A view of traffic amid air pollution in Jakarta, Indonesia, June 27, 2023. In recent weeks, Jakarta has crept into the top of a list of cities with the worst air quality.
President Joko Widodo told reporters last week that the solution to the issue would be to relocate the country's capital city to Nusantara. "One solution is to reduce the burden on Jakarta so that some of it will later be moved to Nusantara. And the mass transportation is a must," he said.Indonesia is set to name Nusantara as the new capital next year, with at least 16,000 civil servants, military and police due to move there.
Jakarta residents have long complained of toxic air, and some launched and won a civil lawsuit in 2021 that demanded the government take action to control the air pollution. The court ruled Widodo must establish national air quality standards to protect human health and that the health minister and Jakarta governor must devise strategies to control air pollution.
