Many youth groups are championing the cause and getting into climate action in a “very concrete way”, noted Sustainability and the Environment Minister Grace Fu.
SINGAPORE: Singapore will emphasise the role young people play in driving climate action when Sustainability and the Environment Minister Grace Fu delivers the country’s second voluntary national review to the United Nations next Tuesday .
Young voices must be heard, and youth action taken seriously, Ms Fu said. Many youth groups are championing the cause and also getting into climate action in a “very concrete way”, she noted. "Whether it is in engagement with leaders, political leaders, exposure to other ASEAN youths, or getting training and development opportunities available in our national SkillsFuture framework, we'd like to equip them with knowledge, with skill sets, and with understanding," she said."They're able to think about challenges that are two, three decades out that require solutions that really require long-term thinking and implementation," she said.
Among them is the global inflation brought on by the Russian invasion of Ukraine that has plagued many countries, she said. It has caused inflationary pressures on people and a strain on the governments’ fiscal position, she noted.
