Consultation on Singapore's National Climate Change Strategy

This is interesting - gov.sg is asking for public feedback and opinions on countering climate change. You can almost hear the alarm bells ringing. Hmmph.

mewr.gov.sg :

Climate change is without a doubt, one of the most important environmental challenges confronting the global community today. Countries all over the world are already experiencing the effects of climate change and Singapore is not spared.

As a sign of our commitment to address climate change, Singapore has acceded to the Kyoto Protocol in Apr 2006. In addition, the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources (MEWR) and the National Environment Agency (NEA) are developing a National Climate Change Strategy (NCCS) in partnership with other government agencies.

MEWR and NEA is seeking feedback on the NCCS, particularly in the following areas:

* Ideas on how our existing measures can be improved;
* Comments on our proposed climate change measures;
* Other climate change measures we should explore

If you have any questions or enquiries, you may also email to mewr_nccs@mewr.gov.sg. The deadline for responding to this consultation is 30 September 2006. We look forward to hearing from you!
