05/06/24 - Climate Connections: Financing a People-Centered Green TransitionAt the COP28 Summit, for the first time since nations began meeting some three decades ago, nearly 200 countries convened by the United Nations approved a milestone plan to ramp up renewable energy and transition away from coal, oil and gas.
With all eyes on the new deal - that is not legally binding and can’t, on its own, force any country to act - “transition finance” is shaping up to be one of this year’s most important topics in the climate space but how just is this transition?
On this episode of Climate Connections, Sharan Burrow, Former General Secretary, International Trade Union Confederation and Global Board of Director, World Resources Institute shares her insights on why a just transition is so important and why people must be at the center of this green transition.
Sharan recently spoke at the 2024 Ecosperity Week spearheaded by Temasek.

04/06/24 - Morning Shot: Local farm closures - is Singapore's food security at risk?Since 2021, vegetable production in Singapore has hovered below 5 percent of total consumption, while seafood production stood at around 7 to 8 percent.
This is some ways off from the nation's ambitious target of growing 30 percent of its food locally by 2030.
The high-tech farming sector, which is crucial to helping achieve this goal, appears to be struggling, having already witnessed many local farms either close up shop or scale down their operations this year.
So what is plaguing the industry, and is Singapore's food security at risk?
On this episode of Morning Shot, William Chen, Director, NTU Food Science & Technology Programme, Nanyang Technological University & Lee Eng Keat, Senior Adviser, Beanstalk Agtech share their insights.
