S'pore joins over 130 countries in signing pledge to end deforestation by 2030

The Ministry of National Development (MND) said yesterday – the day the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow was scheduled to wrap up – that National Development Minister Desmond Lee had endorsed the Glasgow Leaders’ Declaration on Forests and Land Use.

The declaration was launched on Nov 2 by the British presidency of COP26 with more than 100 signatories, including the European Union, Brazil, Indonesia, the United States and Congo. Other nations have since signed, including Singapore and Uzbekistan, although Indonesia has questioned the terms of the commitment. About 91 per cent of the world’s forests are now covered under the pledge.
