Government, businesses lead the way but all must contribute to environmental sustainability: Masagos

SINGAPORE (Aug 27): Minister for the Environment and Water Resources Masagos Zulkifli says Singapore must work together to help mitigate climate change, even as the country explores solutions to adapt to "a new normal".

“Even as we discuss what the government and businesses can do to reduce waste, we must recognise the need for all sectors of society to contribute to our journey towards zero waste and environmental sustainability,” Masagos says at the Singapore Environmental Achievement Awards (SEAA) on Tuesday.

The minister adds that Singapore will later this week launch its inaugural Zero Waste Masterplan as the nation seeks to raise awareness of waste issues and the need to conserve resources.
