If you were out in the Civic District and Marina Bay Area last night, you may have noticed that several buildings had taken on a distinct green glow. It was to mark the 5th anniversary of the Paris Agreement, and to show global solidarity with other cities that support this landmark climate accord.
Five years on, climate change has become a more urgent global challenge, especially for a small low-lying island state like Singapore. In my message at the virtual Climate Ambition Summit, I updated what Singapore is doing in renewable energy, transport, low-carbon solutions and green financing, our long-term adaptation plans and investments in coastal defences.
Ultimately, Singapore will not be able to stop climate change on our own. This global challenge requires a global response. Singapore will continue to play our part, and meet our commitments under the Paris Agreement. – LHL
