Singapore should consider enacting Climate Change Act: MP Lim Wee Kiak.
MoreSingapore should consider enacting a Climate Change Act as part of the measures to tackle environmental issues, said Sembawang GRC Member of Parliament Lim Wee Kiak on Wednesday . Using the UK as an example, Dr Lim said in Parliament that the European country has implemented such an Act, with the aim of setting a science-based long-term target of achieving an 80 per cent cut in carbon emissions by 2050.
Calling for greater public awareness of these bins, Dr Lim said, “Will NEA do more public education on this and teach residents to separate the different recyclable wastes rather than to treat the recycling bin as a dustbin?”Dr Lim also spoke about the planned adoption of electric cars, and asked if the government would take the lead to install more charging points around different parts of Singapore.
