In this paper published by NYSEAN Partner ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute, Jiahui Qiu delves into the updated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) of Singapore, the only Southeast Asian country to submit this before the February 2025 deadline. Qiu looks beyond the emissions target in Singapore’s new NDC to examine how its broader climate strategy communication reveals opportunities for further action.
