Singapore is implementing a tiered approach to coastal protection against rising sea levels. Property owners with long-term leases are required to construct seawalls capable of mitigating a 2.15-meter increase in sea level. Those with leases of 30 years or less must prepare for a 0.7-meter rise. This initiative addresses the escalating threat of climate change and its impact on Singapore’s coastline. The government aims to balance long-term protection with the remaining lifespan of existing leases. The measures are designed to safeguard coastal properties and infrastructure from future inundation and erosion. Details on implementation and funding for these defenses are expected to follow.
