The negotiations that take place at COP to foster new climate commitments are critically important, says Menon in his opening address. “But it’s actually out here in pavilions like these where commitments are turned into action, and where individual contributions coalesce into collective impact.”
Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) managing director Ravi Menon launched the second edition of the Singapore Pavilion in Dubai on Nov 30. Over the next 12 days, the Pavilion will feature panels and announcements by leaders from Singapore’s public and private sectors, alongside the 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.
Themed “Accelerating collective climate action”, the Pavilion showcases how Singapore is convening players across sectors and domains, and from around the world, to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 and build a climate-resilient future, say joint organisers National Climate Change Secretariat (NCCS), Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) and Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment (MSE).
