工人党议员倡议 薪资支持和碳税可促进绿色经济

工人党议员倡议   薪资支持和碳税可促进绿色经济

六名人民行动党议员本周一(1日)国会提呈休会动议,要求政府加速解决气候变化的课题。

随后有数名议员则针对休会动议内容提出修改建议,包括工人党议员林志蔚、严燕松和蔡庆威等人。

其中,工人党阿裕尼集选区议员严燕松,针对绿色经济对我国拥有可持续性发展发表言论,建议政府可以采取相应措施加快期间的过渡期。

这些措施包括引进新的资金和方案,创造与绿色经济相关的就业机会和经济活动,提供家庭和雇主财政支持,协助他们转向清洁能源;针对绿色交通提供赠款、贷款和减税等福利,促进绿色交通、清洁能源和循环经济。

例如,可以向中小企业提供赠款,鼓励他们持续提交可持续性报告,或新加坡会计和企业管理局(ACRA)可考虑要求收入逾1亿元、拥有200名员工的公司,提交一份简化的环境可持续性报告。

严燕松甚至提议,可将交通电气化(electrify transport)目标推进至2030年,因为已有一些国家的目标在2030年前或更早前,达到这目标。

“我们拥有10年的拥车证系统,比起大多数国家,应该更容易更快地拥有全电动汽车。”

碳税将会促进绿色环境改革

除了严燕松外,工人党盛港集选区议员林志蔚也提议完善现有的碳税。他补充道,碳税是与“绿色基金”有所挂钩,能够进一步推进环保宗旨,因此适当调整碳遂可以更果断地推动国内气候友善的经济改革。

林志蔚强调,如今我国所使用的能源仍然非常依赖化石燃料,且混合动力车或电动汽车的数量少只有少。

目前我国是化学品第七大出口国之一,石化工业占据我国的产量3巴仙。

他也举例,尽管中国的人均收入相对较低,但在发展绿色技术上却取得了重要进展,因此我国也可以当作借鉴,在某些利基市场上找到相对的优势。

因此,林志蔚也提议可将58元或一吨的温室气体排放量,将能够促进这种转变。

针对化石燃料的员工,严燕松也强调一旦要推进绿色措施,这些员工将会受到最多影响,因此还是需要支援他们转型。

根据国际劳工组织的指引,严燕松也提议可扩大特别就业补贴(Special Employment Credit),为所有首次在绿色经济中就业的本地员工提供限时工资资助。

目前,在此一补贴下,雇主将会在雇佣老年员工或身心障人士获得相关补贴。同样地,也会刺激企业加入绿色产业。
