‘No time for climate change complacency, Singapore’s minister warns,
ST. GALLEN: A senior Singaporean official has warned that an attitude of complacency and lack of responsibility are blowing a hole in the global fight against climate change and urged more individual action.
“Very often people say that yes, we need to do the right thing for the climate, but why should I pay more? We need to change the narrative and cause a behavioural change,” Grace Fu, minister for sustainability and the environment, told Xinhua.
“Each of us should adopt the philosophy that we are individually responsible for consumption, for the electricity we consume, for the air conditioning in our buildings,” she said on the sidelines of the St. Gallen Symposium.
