SINGAPORE - Singaporeans are being urged to take action to make the nation more resistant to climate change for future generations in a series of public ...
"We have inherited Singapore in a good state due to the foresight and prudence of past generations. As Singapore transforms existing industries to make them more sustainable - such as through the use of electric transport and more resource and carbon efficient manufacturing methods - it is important to ensure that Singaporeans are not left behind in this transition process, said Ms Fu. The carbon tax is implemented on emitters and the revenue will be used to support companies as they invest in greener and more sustainable production methods and cushion the impact of price rises on households. The sacrifices that we make today will not bring us immediate benefits, but they will enable us to bequeath a liveable planet to future generations of Singaporeans," said Ms Fu. How quickly should we implement them? How do we pay for these measures now?
