A monumental year for climate change

Mr Gautam Jindal and Ms Melissa Low from the Energy Studies Institute at NUS discussed how 2016 will be remembered as monumental for the fight against global climate change as countries came together in three separate forums and negotiated agreements to put forward their best efforts on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and managing climate change impacts. The authors opined that while Singapore may contribute only 0.2 per cent of global greenhouse emissions, it will also need to ensure that it continues to show climate leadership.
