Melissa Low, head of Sustainability Academy at the National University of Singapore, kicked off our Singapore training with a reminder that gets right to the heart of why our trainings matter: learning gives us the tools to decide how we want to act and what kind of change we want to help create. Our soon-to-be newest cohort of Climate Reality Leaders in Southeast Asia made the decision to be in this room, to learn, to connect, and to prepare themselves to act. And over the next two days, they’re building the knowledge and skills to take that decision even further. #LeadwithClimateReality

New Climate Reality Leaders in Singapore got down to business to explore the climate challenges they face at home and strategize on real world solutions. They shared lessons, talked through priorities, and explored where they could support one another beyond the training. Local action gets stronger when people have the space to connect, plan, and build together. #LeadwithClimateReality

HY William Chan never wanted to be a politician. In fact, he had become disillusioned with politics. But as an architect and urban planner, he understood that the decisions we make about our cities eventually become the streets, homes, parks, and neighborhoods people live in for decades. After Australia’s devastating Black Summer bushfires blanketed Sydney in smoke, William found himself thinking about who would live with the consequences of the climate crisis. His generation would. So when he was given an opportunity to step up, he said yes. William went on to become the youngest city councilor in Sydney’s history, bringing his experience in architecture, climate advocacy, and community building into local government – and helping push for cities to have a greater voice in global climate conversations. What gets William out of bed each morning is the belief that the choices we make today can give the generations after us more possibilities, stronger communities, and greater hope.
