SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt: Singapore has warned that the world could “lose sight of the war on the climate crisis”, as governments continued negotiations at the United Nations climate summit in Egypt.

“We are at a crossroads. This is why COP27 is pivotal – our choices today will determine our future,” she said, pushing for collective resolve. Emissions projections, especially in the highly polluting power sector, have been undermined by the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine. Singapore has joined several coalitions during the two-week summit, to strengthen action on issues including forests and land use, carbon markets, green shipping, water security and global early warning systems.

She said that Singapore would launch a new three-year Sustainability Action Package to help improve capacity-building in areas like adaptation and resilience-building strategies, green project management and financing, low carbon development and carbon markets.
