SINGAPORE: More than 9 in 10 Singaporeans and Permanent Residents said they are concerned by climate change and will do their part to minimise its impact, findings from a Mediacorp survey showed on Wednesday .
About 1,000 individuals aged 18 and older took part in the self-administered online survey aimed at understanding public perception of climate change in Singapore and the Government’s actions towards it.The survey, conducted between Jul 20 and 24, comes after Environment and Water Resources Minister Masagos Zulkifli said that Singapore has a “pressing priority” to tackle climate change and warned that “time is running out”.
The country has also launched its first seed back to protect local and regional plant diversity against threats like climate change.When it comes to funding efforts to tackle climate change, just over half of the survey respondents indicated that efforts to tackle the issue should be funded by current or future taxes.
For example, in response to the statement “I am concerned about the impact of climate change on Singapore”, 91 per cent of the 112 respondents making up the youngest age group said they “agree” or “strongly agree”.READ: Singapore opens first seed bank to protect regional plant diversity against climate change
