Singapore has undertaken local measures to protect its infrastructure and living environment against the risk of rising sea levels. Since 2011, minimum platform levels for new development projects have been raised to four metres above the Singapore Height Datum (SHD).4 New critical infrastructure, such as the Tuas Port and Changi Airport Terminal 5, will have platforms raised even higher, to at least five metres above the SHD. Singapore has also installed coastal protection measures on more than 70% of its coastal areas to manage coastal erosion. Beyond these, Singapore has studied its coastline and developed a national, island-wide plan to protect itself from rising sea levels.
