Boosting Singapore’s Climate Science Capabilities – The Climate Science Research Programme Office
Launched on 5 November 2020, the Climate Science Research Programme Office (CSRPO) under the Centre for Climate Research Singapore (CCRS), will play a key role in Singapore’s response to the potential impact of climate change. The CSRPO will lead and drive efforts under a new National Climate Science Research Masterplan, aligning fundamental climate science research with national goals for climate adaptation and mitigation. The CSRPO will also oversee, coordinate and support targeted collaborative climate science research between CCRS scientists and researchers from local Research Institutes and Institutes of Higher Learning. The CSRPO goal is to strengthen local research capabilities in key climate impact science areas including sea level rise, water resources and flood management, biodiversity, food security, warming trends on human health, and the energy sector. Research findings will also enhance the international research community’s understanding of climate research on local and regional scales, and contribute to global efforts on evidence-based decisions in adapting to a changing climate.
