The effects of rising temperatures will have significant social and economic costs, so Singapore needs to work towards mitigating rising temperatures, there are proven ways to do so and we should not kick the can down the road, it said on Wednesday (2 (May 7th) stated in Congress. He said Singapore’s strategy to adapt to urban heat needs to better consider socio-economic issues and be accelerated and provided with regulatory brakes. For example, prioritizing efforts to ensure thermal comfort and air flow in rental and small apartments, subsidizing fans and blackout curtains, and expanding voucher schemes for climate-friendly households. More emphasis should be placed on those who are less well off. To support vulnerable residents living in larger apartments. The government should also accelerate retrofit programs to reduce heat emissions in all public sector buildings, especially near residential areas, in line with ultra-low energy certification. Regulation also plays an important role, Ha said. She proposed several proposals, including enacting legislation to make it easier to install solar panels on condominiums, considering the need for climate change impact assessments on new infrastructure, and requiring restaurants to provide free tap water. I did it. In response, Amy Cole, Senior Minister for Sustainability and Environment, said the Government was adopting an aggressive, science-based, three-pronged heat resistance strategy. First, implement national cooling strategies that benefit all segments of society, including vulnerable groups. She gave the example of HDB removing some units in older rental blocks to create more openings along corridors to enhance airflow. The second is to empower our people to cope with a warming world. For example, start a heat stress advisory and make heat stress levels available in the myENV app. Third, improve scientific understanding of the effects of rising temperatures to inform heat tolerance strategies.
