Written Reply to Parliamentary Question on Maju Forest by Ms Grace Fu, Minister for Sustainability and the Environment.
Question:
Ms He Ting Ru: To ask the Minister for Sustainability and the Environment given the designation of 2026 as the Year of Climate Adaptation and concerns about the impact of heat in Singapore, how does the clearing of Maju Forest fit into the Ministry's climate adaptation and mitigation plans.
Answer:
We have designated 2026 as the Year of Climate Adaptation to raise awareness on the importance of adaptation, galvanise collective action to adapt to the effects of climate change, and co-create the development of our National Adaptation Plan with public, private and people stakeholders, including the Ministry of National Development and its agencies.
It is important for the co-creation process to consider and balance the needs for economic development, social services, and environmental protection.
The Ministry of National Development has separately answered the specific questions related to the development of Sunset Way on 4 Aug 2026.
