13 Key Impacts of Climate Change on Singapore

Summary of AR4 Projections for Southeast Asia (A1B Scenario):

• Annual precipitation for Southeast Asia will increase - Water Supply

• Temperature rise likely similar to global mean temperature rise - Increase in extreme weather occurrences

• Sea level rise likely to be close to global mean - Sea Level Rise
