In his National Day Rally 2019 speech, PM Lee described climate change as “a matter of life and death”. Rising sea levels is the main environmental problem facing low-lying Singapore. PM Lee noted that current projections are that sea levels will rise by up to one metre by the end of the century, but scientists' estimates have been going up. And in his Mandarin speech, PM Lee said that while Singapore's economic growth has slowed significantly this year, the current situation does not warrant stimulus measures just yet. Song Seng Wun, economist at CIMB Private Banking and Associate Professor Adam Switzer, Associate Chair of the Asian School of the Environment, as well as Principal Investigator at the Earth Observatory of Singapore share more.
