Singapore has set 2026 as its Year of Climate Adaptation and begun drafting its first National Adaptation Plan (NAP), marking a shift from mitigation toward systemic climate resilience.
As part of its heat-response strategy, the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment (MSE) has established a dedicated policy office and committed SGD 40 million (around USD 31.3 million) to research aimed at strengthening resilience among vulnerable groups, including outdoor workers.
