Singapore and Netherlands sign MOU to boost climate science research

The partners will establish a technical support unit in their respective countries.

Singapore and the Netherlands signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to support international climate science research.

Under the MOU, the partners will establish the Technical Support Unit (TSU) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Working Group II on Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability.

Both countries have secured premises and are providing funds for staff and research for the two TSU offices in their respective countries.

The two TSUs will provide scientific, technical, operational, and communications support to IPCC’s Working Group II in its Seventh Assessment Report Cycle (AR7).

The collaboration began following the election of Professor Winston Chow from Singapore Management University and Professor Bart van den Hurk from Deltares as Co-Chairs of IPCC Working Group II during the July 2023 IPCC Bureau elections in Nairobi, Kenya.

The IPCC is the UN's authority for evaluating climate change science, its impacts, future risks, and strategies for mitigation and adaptation.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
