To address issues such as rising sea levels and warmer sea surface temperatures, the National Parks Board (NParks) will lead a new S $ million marine climate change research programme.
It is one of five initiatives announced on Friday (March ) to study urban sustainability.
The initiatives are part of the Government's S$ billion RIE plan, which charts the direction of Singapore's climate change research over the new five years.
"If done right, our R&D efforts will not only make our city more resilient, but will also help strengthen our economy," National Development Minister Desmond Lee said at an event called e-I Sympo Phone Number List sium. + D for urban sustainability
In his speech, Mr Lee said the Marine Climate Change Science program will encompass different areas of research.
It will strive to better understand the impact of climate change on marine species, habitats, ecosystems and connectivity, and use nature-based solutions and ecological engineering to study how to better protect Singapore's coastlines from sea level rise.
It will also look at blue carbon, the carbon captured and stored by coastal and marine ecosystems, to help Singapore further reduce its carbon footprint.
“So we achieved two goals at the same time: reducing our carbon emissions and conserving our natural environment,” he said.
Government agencies, research institutes and industry partners will collaborate on this program.
Separately, water agency PUB is looking for ways to reduce energy consumption and waste produced by desalination. It recently awarded nearly S$ million to six projects researching new technologies for this purpose.

TRANSFORMING THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT SECTOR
As part of the government's effort to shift the built environment sector away from its reliance on manual labour, the Housing and Development Board (HDB) and A*STAR's Infocomm Research Institute will develop a G-enabled Smart Construction concept.
They will seek to integrate G technology with drones, robots and artificial intelligence to monitor construction sites .
“Technological advances from around the world can help us build faster, safer and more efficiently, for example through greater use of robotics, automation and digitalization,” Lee said, adding that this could include incorporating of design oriented towards robots in construction.

A CITY TO FORGE SOLID RELATIONSHIPS

“Aspiramos a construir una ciudad que no solo satisfaga nuestras necesidades físicas, sino que también nos permita forjar relaciones sólidas y conexiones emocionales profundas entre nosotros”, dijo el Sr. Lee.
