SINGAPORE - A $23.

5 million programme was launched on Tuesday to uncover the long-term impacts of climate change on Singapore - from sea level rise to food insecurity - and to help guide policies to tackle these issues.

He was speaking at the third Sea Level Conference of the World Climate Research Programme, which is held at Marina Bay Sands from July 12 to 16. Ms Fu cited a recent United Nations climate change report which found that in the worst-case scenario, over 30 per cent of global crop and livestock areas could become climatically unsuitable by 2100.

Large global models often have grid cells which span between 70km and 250km. But as Singapore is only 45km at its widest, it is working to downscale them to produce grid cells spanning 2km to 8km. For instance, studies on the impact of water runoff from increased rainfall can help the country to plan its flood mitigation measures, such as through local detention tanks which collect and store stormwater runoff and then release it at controlled rates via a downstream drainage system.
