World Environment Day is celebrated yearly on 5 June to engage everyone around the world to focus their efforts on pressing environmental issue.
It pushes for individuals to think about the way they consume; for businesses to develop greener models; for farmers and manufacturers to produce more sustainably; for governments to safeguard wild spaces.
For all Bukit Viewans, we hope you will be inspired to live in harmony with the Earth to become ethical advocates for a green future by taking some immediate actions such as using less plastic, opening your windows for a cleaner air than switching on air-conditioners, trying to grow edible plants for a sustainable future and reducing food wastage.
This year, the theme is biodiversity, which is both urgent and existential. Due to the outbreak of the coronavirus, many countries have adopted lockdowns.
This, in fact, has led to a positive impact on our earth. Our carbon footprint has become lower, the air is cleaner, our water quality has improved and wildlife such as turtles have been spotted to return to areas they once avoided to lay their eggs. In addition, plants have been growing well providing us with more oxygen.
A greener future, requires effort from all of us. Let’s stay united for the nature!

Today is International Day for Biological Diversity!
This year theme is "Our solutions are in nature".
To ensure that biodiversity thrives, do your part!
Some examples are:
1. Reduce the use of plastic bags/containers
2. Use energy and water efficiently
3. Plant more trees
4. Look to nature for solutions eg using mangroves to prevent flooding of coastlines.
5. Do not eat wildlife
Can you think of more ways that we can do our part?

As we move into the third week of the Circuit Breaker, Singapore continues to work together with our bilateral, regional and international partners to support efforts to strengthen our food supply chains and ensure that everyone has access to a sustainable, secure and safe food supply.
I participated in the Extraordinary Virtual G20 Agriculture Ministers Meeting in Response to COVID-19 held last evening. It was convened by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which holds the G20 Presidency this year. I am deeply appreciative of the efforts of the Saudi Arabia Minister of Environment, Water and Agriculture Abdulrahman Al Fadhli to advance dialogue on coordinated responses to COVID-19 impacts on food security and nutrition.
In this challenging global situation, it is important that countries work closely together to keep trade lines open. At the meeting, I spoke on the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on global food security. Singapore has taken steps to prepare for the threat of food supply disruptions, including by putting our “30-by-30” goal on a fast track (also known as the “30x30 Express”). To effectively strengthen our individual and collective food resilience, countries must ensure global food supply chains continue to flow well.
I am heartened that the G20 Agriculture Ministers adopted a statement in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, to deliver a strong and reassuring message to the world on the determination of G20 countries to take proactive steps to mitigate risks to food systems. I look forward to working with them on the broader G20 agriculture and food agenda.
In a similar show of solidarity, the ASEAN Ministers on Agriculture and Forestry (AMAF) also issued a joint statement last week to reaffirm their commitment to ensure food security, food safety and nutrition during this outbreak. We had also agreed to ensure that trade lines remain open to facilitate the flow of agricultural and food products. You can read the statement here: https://asean.org/statement-asean-ministers-agriculture-forestry-response-outbreak-coronavirus-disease-covid-19-ensure-food-security-food-safety-nutrition-asean/
This is an unprecedented time for all countries. But if we work together, I am confident we can overcome the challenges and emerge as a stronger global community.
