Chapter 2 - The Scientific Consensus

The topic of climate change has sparked uncertainty among the community. Dr Chang shares the commitment of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change comprising of scientists providing interdisciplinary ways to understand and update the knowledge of climate change.

Understanding climate science is a long term phenomenon. Dr Chang shows how the impact of temperature trends on the weather patterns can change the climate system. With this knowledge, you will find the urgency to protect the environment. When we understand the causes of climate change and the impact on our lives, we will change our mindset on climate change. With a collective effort, our actions to reduce carbon footprint will have a substantial impact.

Discover how Gardens By The Bay, a zero carbon facility, helps to regulate the environment with the use of solar energy. Imagine what we can do if all organisation and companies apply the same mindset and act to change the energy footprint.
