New NUS Centre for Sustainable Medicine
The first of its kind in Asia and the largest in the world, the new Centre will accelerate Singapore’s net zero transition in healthcare and pave the way for more climate-resilient health systems.
To tackle health threats posed by climate change, the University has also launched an interdisciplinary research programme on the impact of climate change on human health, and is positioning itself as a regional forerunner in research on heat and health.
These announcements were made at the COP28 United Nations (UN) Climate Change Conference in Dubai, United Arab Emirates in December 2023.
