On 18 November, ESI Research Fellow Ms Melissa Low attended the National Environment Agency (NEA) Board Strategy Advance (BSA) held at the Suntec City Convention Centre. She was one of 120 key stakeholders in government agencies, non-governmental organizations, business associations, academia and the community invited by NEA Chairman Mr Lee Chuan Seng to have a meaningful conversation on how to collectively and collaboratively make a positive impact on Singapore’s environment.
The three topics of priority and interest to NEA discussed were 1) Keep Singapore Clean, 2) Re-imagining Hawker centres and 3) Sustainable Singapore. The programme consisted of a keynote address by Dr Liu Thai Ker, Chairman of the Advisory Board of the Centre for Liveable Cities, followed by context setting presentations by NEA, sharing by invited guests and in-depth discussions on the topics.
Melissa participated in the Sustainable Singapore breakout session, which saw Ms Pamela Lee, Director of Policy and Planning at the National Climate Change Secretariat, Strategy Group, Prime Minister’s Office give an overview presentation on how Singapore is addressing climate change. Melissa then joined others in contributing to the discussions on how to work with stakeholders to raise awareness on climate change and take sustainable action to reduce carbon footprint. The discussion was facilitated by NEA staff from the Environmental Protection Policy Department (EPPD) and 3P Network Division. The top ideas from all breakout sessions were presented in a plenary setting. NEA noted that top ideas generated from discussions will be studied and followed-up over the course of the next work year and outcomes will be shared at the next NEA BSA.
