(March 4): Singapore’s government and businesses must prepare to handle accelerating risks posed by climate change, according to the country’s environment minister. Challenges to economic and geopolitical stability, including the crisis in the Middle East, are clouding the world’s focus on climate protections and mean there’s a more urgent need to bolster resilience, Singapore’s Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu said during a budget debate in parliament. “Major emitters may backslide on their climate obligations as they grapple with the global tensions on security, energy, trade and investments,” Fu said. “In such uncertain times, the environment becomes an inevitable casualty, and our planet will face the impacts of climate change more severely — and sooner.”   https://www.theedgesingapore.com/news/environmental-social-and-governance/global-instability-fuelling-climate-risks-singapore-warns (ICE SINGAPORE)
