"Avoid complacency but don't adopt “catastrophic thinking”.
Speaking at the recent Ecosperity Week organised by Temasek, Singapore President Tharman Shanmugaratnam says that the investment needed to push us along on our net-zero journey is not a cost.

On this episode of Morning Shot, Zhu Wenjun, Deputy Director of the Insurance Risk and Finance Research Centre and Associate Professor at NTU’s Nanyang Business School weighs in on the importance of public-private partnerships in the climate space, and the shift in thinking towards tackling the triple crises of climate, water and biodiversity crises together.

Quite unsurprisingly, demand for batteries is expected to increase 30% each year until 2030.
A greater need for batteries to power more electric vehicles means increased demand for metals like lithium, a finite resource whose extraction has raised ecological and human rights issues.
Lithium mining takes a heavy toll - trees are often cut down to make room for mines, chemicals used in the process can poison waterways, and meanwhile, millions of tonnes of batteries are expected to be decommissioned over the coming decades, creating hazardous waste.
But have you ever thought about how sustainable your batteries are?
On this episode of Climate Connections, Justin Hung, CEO & Co-Founder of GRST (which stands for Green, Renewable, Sustainable Technology) and 2023 Earthshot Prize winner shares about the cleaner process he developed to make batteries that pollutes less and uses components that can be more easily recycled.
The eco-friendly lithium batteries technology start-up aims to raise US$50 million over the next two years.
