SINGAPORE - When the general election comes around, young climate activists in Singapore plan to assess and rank political parties based on how their manifestos and campaigns address various aspects of climate change.
Called Greenwatch, the campaign is a joint initiative of the organisers of the Singapore Climate Rally and Speak For Climate - both ground-up movements led by undergraduates and young working adults calling for more action to slash emissions in the Republic.
