Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 4: Poh Li San on need for National Adaptation Plan
How can people care about long-term plans if they do not have enough for their daily lives? Spending on the National Adaptation Plan can feel disconnected with Singaporeans’ needs today; put bluntly, many simply do not care about these plans. How does the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment intend to engage the public on the need for such adaptation infrastructure? How will the National Adaptation Plan build climate literacy and awareness within the community to foster a culture of climate resilience? MP Poh Li San raised these questions in parliament on Tuesday (Mar 3).
