In this episode, we sat down with Pilar Gonzalez and Gaspard Brabant to explore the climate leadership of Grace Fu, Singapore’s Minister for Sustainability and the Environment. From championing the Singapore Green Plan 2030 to implementing carbon taxes and food resilience strategies, Fu has positioned herself at the center of one of the world’s most ambitious urban sustainability agendas. We discuss how her technocratic, data-driven approach, shaped by a career in both the private and public sectors, reflects Singapore’s broader climate priorities and whether it’s enough to safeguard the city-state’s future in the face of rising seas and global disruption.This episode is the fourth in a series of six as part of the IExRAIA Summer Research Program of 2025.
