Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 1: Nadia Ahmad Samdin on carbon policy and transition support
The new global order, AI advancements and climate pressures are reshaping economies, lives and livelihoods, said MP Nadia Ahmad Samdin in parliament on Thursday (Feb 26), where she sought the government's views on three areas. She wanted to know how Singapore will maintain credibility of its carbon tax policy in a world where climate action is slowing or increasingly becoming politicised. She also wanted to know the government's future plans for the use of transitional allowances and purchasing of international carbon credits to ease near-term pressures. She also asked how Singapore is building a pipeline of hybrid green digital talent amid the evolving technological landscape.
