Singapore Pavilion at COP29 sees more than 9,000 visitors, up 50% from last year

The Singapore Pavilion at this year's UN Climate Change Conference in Azerbaijan saw more than 9,000 visitors over 10 days. Foreign dignitaries, businesses and youths form the number, which is also 50 per cent more than visitor numbers last year. The pavilion brought together more than 100 partners to host over 40 programmes. It saw several key announcements, such as the central bank's S$500 million pledge to support Asia's transition to net zero. The world's first advanced degree in sustainable healthcare was also launched. Sustainability and the Environment Minister Grace Fu told organisers that though the pavilion is closing, this is not the end. Claudia Lim reports.
