ECO MONEY: Singapore sustainable energy professionals call for more aggressive action on goals
Singapore has once again emerged as the ASEAN leader in energy transition efforts, for the second year in a row. That's according to the latest annual survey by the Sustainable Energy Association of Singapore (SEAS) with 250 industry professionals from the energy sector. However, nearly one-third of energy professionals believe the city-state’s renewable energy targets need more aggressive action. SEAS says respondents are concerned that Singapore remains dependent on natural gas and see lack of regulatory frameworks and barriers in cross-border interconnection agreements as well as regulatory uncertainties in tightened energy markets as hurdles. Rachel Kelly speaks to Kavita Gandhi, Executive Director of the Sustainable Energy Association of Singapore to find out more. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

ECO MONEY: CEOs’ prioritization of sustainability has declined
There’s been a sharp decline in CEOs’ prioritization of sustainability - that’s according to the latest research from Bain & Co. Instead AI, growth, inflation, and geopolitical uncertainty have risen to the top of their agendas. That said, this slowing momentum on sustainability could come with a tangible cost. Bain estimates a temperature increase of 2 degrees Celsius could cut $6 trillion from the value of the S&P 5001, in addition to the devastating environmental and social consequences. Many companies are reassessing, adjusting, and, in some cases, retracting their climate commitments.
