SINGAPORE:
Singapore signed on Friday a Memorandum
of Understanding with the Cities Climate Leadership Group (C40) to participate
in the international climate action group as an observer city.
The
National Climate Change Secretariat (NCCS) said Singapore was invited to join
the C40 because of its achievements as a global city with a proven record in
achieving economic growth and environment sustainability.
C40 has
also expressed interest in Singapore's experience in areas such as land
transport and water management.
Singapore
will only participate as an observer because of its unique circumstances as a
city-state and will not be party to communiqués issued by the C40 group.
Both
sides will work together to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions and support
measures to avoid the harmful impacts of climate change.
These
will include Singapore's participation in C40 initiatives, as well as the
development of case studies to share knowledge with other cities.
Singapore
is interested in learning from the best practices of C40 cities, in areas such
as developing low carbon strategies and deploying solutions to reduce
emissions.
The C40
has 58 cities, such as Berlin, Hong Kong, Jakarta, Johannesburg, Los Angeles,
London, New York, Sao Paulo, Seoul and Tokyo.
It
collaborates on climate change-related initiatives with organisations such as
the World Bank, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and the
Clinton Climate Initiative.
