Topic: Is Singapore Climate-Proof? Heat, Flooding, and Global Cities
Speaker: Shabana Begum, Climate & Environment Correspondent, The Straits Times

Climate change is already reshaping the world’s most ambitious cities.

Often held up as a model of urban planning and resilience, Singapore has invested billions in flood control, coastal protection, and climate adaptation. But as temperatures rise and extreme weather becomes the norm, a harder question emerges: can engineering alone protect a city from climate stress?

Join Shabana Begum, climate and environment correspondent from The Straits Times as she draws from on-the-ground reporting to give us a picture of how heat, flooding, and climate risk are testing Singapore in real time.

Ditch your phone, connect with other curious minds, and share a drink over big ideas in some of Singapore's coolest venues.
