This podcast series by The Straits Times provides you with a South-east Asian perspective to global environmental challenges.

The business-as-usual option to continue with fossil fuel use is no longer as viable as it was before, due to wars and other geopolitical developments. What is the role of nuclear energy in plugging this gap? And how and why is Singapore taking steps to build its knowledge and expertise in this area?

Green Pulse hosts Audrey Tan and David Fogarty discuss the global nuclear renaissance, and Singapore’s role in it, in this episode out earlier this month.

Meanwhile, the war in the Middle East continues to cause energy prices around the world to spike.

For energy-importing nations like Singapore, the global volatility poses a difficult question: How can they insulate themselves from global shocks? Will the energy crisis accelerate ASEAN’s push for renewable energy, or will it stall progress as governments tackle other pressing issues?

Hear Audrey and David break this down in the other Green Pulse episode this month.
