Abstract

[Extract] Singapore is a small, low-lying and highly urbanised city-state, with over 5.5 million people on a land area of about 710 sq km, exposed to the effects of climate change as the earth warms up. Much of Singapore lies within 15m above the mean sea level; the ground level of about 30% of Singapore is less than 5m above the mean sea level. According to the report, the expected effects of changing weather patterns on Singapore would include accelerated coastal erosion and higher incidences of intense rain or prolonged drought, influence on the biodiversity of plants and animals, and greenery, and possible disruptions to food supplies and business supply chains.
