“We must change the way we view nature; it is not something to be sacrificed, but something to be treasured, and invested in, to achieve our climate goals,” says Heng.
Nature is not, and cannot be, just a passive victim of economic development. Rather, it can be an active partner in Singapore's pursuit of sustainable development, says Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat.
In his opening address for the second day of Temasek’s Ecosperity Week 2021, DPM Heng urged policymakers, investors, non-government groups and businesses present to take a “fresh perspective” on nature.
