SINGAPORE: In a turbulent world, Singapore is approaching climate change using a strategy that has guided its response to other challenges such as water security and military defence, Senior Minister of State for Sustainability and the Environment Janil Puthucheary said on Wednesday (Feb 11). He anchored Singapore’s climate strategy in frameworks that previously guided its approach to both matters. The approach: secure survival first, build expertise, and where possible, convert capability into economic value. "We start on the basis of our priorities, our own survival ... whether it was how we dealt with water, build up of our military capability, 50, 60 years ago, how we put in place economic tools and manage our reserves," Dr Puthucheary said. Doing this well would give Singapore “table stakes” at developing international partnerships, where it can then argue its case for the right way to move things forward at international platforms, Dr Puthucheary said. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/sustainability/janil-puthucheary-climate-action-green-dialogue-2026-5922436 (ICE SINGAPORE)
