Obligation to Act: Climate Change and Human Rights by SG Climate Rally
Last year, the International Court of Justice ruled that states have obligations to take “necessary measures to protect the climate system and other parts of the environment.” Given this, are Singapore’s actions sufficient?🤔
This event will explore how we can fulfil this obligation to act at the levels of individuals, organisations and movements calling for systemic change🙌🏻
You will hear from:
✅A former lifestyle magazine editor, who now regrets the cult of consumerism it promoted🤙
✅An international development practitioner focused on governance, rule of law, and sustainable infrastructure across Asia🌎
✅A sustainability consultant with experience across multiple sectors including the energy transition and sustainable finance💪🏻
🔴 17 Apr 26, Friday

🏞️ Climate Action Hour: Film Screening – Actionism
Climate change can often feel overwhelming, isolating, or too big for any one person to solve alone. This screening of Actionism explores what happens when people move from climate anxiety to collective action.
The short film follows Ellie Meredith, an 18-year-old navigating climate anxiety who eventually finds community, purpose, and a sense of agency. It is a reminder that meaningful change often begins when people stop acting alone and start acting together.
As part of Climate Action Hour, the screening highlights the importance of moving beyond awareness toward action, collective responsibility, and community-led solutions.

Labour Day Rally 2026: TIME IS RUNNING OUT
LABOUR DAY RALLY 2026 IS HERE!!!
This year, the rally is jointly organised by both the labour and climate movement, represented by Workers Make Possible and SG Climate Rally.
Singapore is one of the most overworked countries in the world. Whether you're a doctor, a domestic worker, a security guard, a tech worker, platform workers, or cultural worker, most of your time is spent on work. Meanwhile every coral bleached and green space taken away from us is a reminder of how little time we have left to protect our planet.
We are burned out workers on a burning planet and we are tired of the people in power idling around on issues that concern and chasing profits at our expense instead. Our time is now ✊✊🏾✊🏼✊🏻🚩🌎
