Andre Low on Transboundary Haze Pollution (Amendment) Bill
Singapore can address haze prevention even as it invests in meeting its broader climate commitments, said NCMP Andre Low. In parliament on Wednesday (Nov 4), he urged the government to take account of a project's credible potential to reduce haze-causing fires when selecting suitable regional carbon projects for purchase. It should also consider longer-term purchase agreements where greater certainty of income can sustain fire prevention efforts. Mr Low added that Singapore's developing carbon credit cooperation with Indonesia is an opportunity to examine how these arrangements could work in practice.
