Singapore to do its full part to tackle climate change: PM Lee

NEW YORK - Singapore will do its full part to mitigate climate change, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong pledged on Monday at the United Nations Climate Action Summit, where dozens of world leaders outlined what their countries were doing to confront global warming.

Throughout the day, world leaders laid out in brief speeches what they were doing, from achieving carbon neutrality to cutting greenhouse emissions, to fight what UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called a climate crisis. But it has developed creative solutions within these constraints, said PM Lee, citing large-scale solar panels that float in Singapore's reservoirs and just off its shores.

Singapore is working together with other countries on several climate change-related schemes, said PM Lee. He cited the Southeast Asia Disaster Risk Insurance Facility, which provides flood risk pooling for the region and is supported by Japan and the World Bank, among other examples.
