Jack Board on rockier skies leading to turbulence:
As the planet gets warmer, skies are getting rockier. And (warmer air) causes changes in wind speed. And we know that warmer air is increasing because of carbon emissions.
Liling Tan on deadlines companies have to contend with:
We know in Singapore that this carbon accounting is going to be required soon. From next year, all listed companies here will have to start reporting on Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.
Yoon Young Kim, cluster president for Singapore and Brunei for Schneider Electric on how decarbonisation takes time:
It's not like switching on or off. Like tomorrow, I want to have a more sustainable operation and it can happen. It is a journey an organisation and the country has to go on.
