Following nine months of negotiations, world leaders have agreed on a landmark “Pact for the Future” at the UN General Assembly's Summit of the Future in New York.

The Pact consists of 56 Actions designed to "turbocharge" the SDGs, but in particular to speed progress on issues around peace and security, global governance, climate change, digital cooperation, human rights, gender, youth and future generations.

This comes amid mounting criticism over the United Nation’s its failures to stop wars and hold to account those who violate its charter. What can be done to make the organisation more relevant and effective on the global stage?

On this episode of Morning Shot, Thomas G Weiss, Presidential Professor Emeritus for Political Science, The City University of New York Graduate Center shares his insights.

The drive towards sustainability in the automotive industry is growing, as climate change intensifies and environmental concerns mount.

In Singapore, the ultimate goal is for all vehicles to run on cleaner energy by 2040 as part of its Green Plan. And from 2030, all new cars and taxis registered here will be required to be cleaner-energy models.

But while we’re seeing staggering statistics with the automotive industry annually producing approximately 80 million vehicles, demanding a colossal 112 million tons of materials and contributing to over 10% of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions, there has been a relentless focus on driving electric vehicle adoption and supply chain decarbonisation that’s redefining the sector’s priorities.

On this episode of Electric Mornings with BYD, James Ng, Managing Director at BYD Singapore and Philippines shares his insights on what Chinese electric vehicle maker BYD has done to support Singapore’s green shift on the mobility front, and how the company’s presence in Singapore has evolved over the years.

Electric Mornings with BYD: How BYD is revolutionising the EV industry

In the lead-up to the year-end monsoon season, National water agency PUB launched its first campaign aimed at encouraging the public to be ready for floods amid erratic weather and more intense storms caused by climate change.

As part of its mnemonic Flash campaign, the public is advised to follow these tips: 

• Follow PUB flood alerts

• Learn how to be flood-ready

• Avoid flooded areas

• Share PUB flood updates

• Help others where possible

The agency has also stepped up checks across the island to make sure that public drains are not blocked and can carry storm water effectively. This is especially so for key buildings and flood-prone areas.

On this episode of Morning Shot, Muhd Zaki Mohamedzen, Principal Engineer at PUB’s Catchment and Waterways Department shares his insights on PUB's efforts.
