Committee of Supply 2023 debate, Day 1: Poh Li San on Singapore's climate ambition
How can Singapore balance the needs of its economy to protect livelihoods and mitigate climate change and the threat of rising sea levels? What factors did the Government take into consideration when it raised Singapore’s climate targets to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050? These questions were raised by MP Poh Li San in Parliament on Friday (Feb 24). She also raised concerns about the impact on small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). She asked for an update on the Government's measures to guide SMEs in their journey to transform their operations and reduce carbon emissions.
