工人党发声明回应气候集会诉求 “议员积极发声关注气候变化议题”

上月22日,新加坡年轻人自发发起的本土首个气候集会(SG Climate Rally),成功在芳林公园举行,呼吁政府和相关决策人士,在应对气候危机上采取更有力的措施。

工人党也在昨日发表声明,认同该集会上提出的诉求,并阐明该党过去在参与《碳定价法案》( Carbon Pricing Bill )、《可持续资源法案》(Resource Sustainability Bill)以及《节约能源法》(Energy Conservation Act)等多项法案辩论,都积极表达对过量碳排放对人类构成的危险。

至于气候集会脸书专页则发文赞扬工人党,发表全面声明阐述其对气候课题采取的行动和承诺,“对于政治领导人关注气候危机成为关键议题,我们深感欣慰。我们将继续跟进他们作出的承诺,特别是选举即将来临。”

工人党称,该党议员及非选区议员也曾建议严正看待气候变化,且呼吁应做得比国家自定贡献预案(Intended Nationally determined contribution)更多;与此同时针对排水能力、减少都市热岛效应、维持生态多样性等作出种种建议。

“我们也曾质询政府,是否考虑在为再生能源对于总能源生产贡献分配,制定长期目标;公开大型排放数据以及提高透明度,让公众以全球基准来衡量本土经济活动碳排放的强度。”

该党也在国会献议采取更有力措施推广电动汽车,并要求政府仿效英法,为长远未来规划禁止所有石化驱动交通工具的期限。

除了面对海平面上升、水源和气候变热等压力,新加坡的食物供应亦可能因全球暖化受影响。对此工人党议员对于食物价格上涨问题表达关注,也呼吁保障本岛居民的粮食供应。

该党也认可和要求进行让海岸生态休养生息、恢复珊瑚、红树林和滩涂生态的“软工程”,并质询政府在这方面做出的努力,避免受到气候变化、海平面上升和海洋酸化,特别是人为因素如填海工程的影响。

该党重申,在2015年竞选宣言献议定期进行气候暖化风险评估,国家气候暖化秘书处必须定时更新,让国人理解新加坡在面对气候暖化的风险。

该党认可新加坡政府,透过新加坡气象局属下新加坡气候研究中心(CCRS)展开的工作;此外,所有涉及绿地的工程项目,该党要求政府必须进行环境评估报告(EIA),并且永久公开展示于群众。

“工人党积极欢迎与所有新加坡人的对话,以期为后代留下一个可可永续经营的家园。”
