Your Singapore 2035 Blueprint ; Singapore in the future!

# data[].attributes.body
You are part of a Youth Advisory team helping to shape Singapore’s future.

Your task is to design what Singapore should look like in 2035 and the role youth play in it.

What kind of Singapore do we want to live in and how do we get there?

# data[].attributes.body
Think of your vision based on your given sub-theme, just a summary of your hopes and wishes in the development of Singapore

E.g. In 2035, Singapore will be a nation where…

AI improves life without leaving anyone behind (Innovation and AI)

Growth and sustainability go hand in hand (Environment and sustainability)

Everyone has equal opportunities to thrive (Social compact)

Culture and identity stay strong in a modern world (Arts and culture)

Globalisation improves, forming greater connections (Regional and Global affairs)

# data[].attributes.body
For the following questions, each group is to discuss and assign a scribe to type out your answers into the respective sections.

Do remember to indicate your group numbers as the title of your entrees.

# data[].attributes.body
Identify 1 big challenge that Singapore has to overcome to achieve your vision

E.g.

Job disruptions (AI taking over)

Ageing population (how do we not leave anyone behind?)

Global tensions (how do we ensure the new generation stays open-minded to regional differences?)

Climate change increasingly worsens (Technology is prioritised over nature and environment)

# data[].attributes.body
What are some ways proposed to mitigate these challenges? Think from 3 different points of view: Government, Organisations/ schools/companies, Youth (you!)

For example (Regional and global affairs) 1. Government:

Maintain strong diplomatic relationships with multiple global powers

Diversify trade partnerships to reduce over-dependence on any single country

2. Organisations:

Expand global collaboration in technology, research, and busines

Prepare workers for global industries and remote collaboration

3. Youth:

Stay informed about global issues (climate, wars, economy)

Develop global skills like communication and adaptability

# data[].attributes.body
in 2040, everyone in singapore will have equal opportunities to thrive and grow together

# data[].attributes.body
15 minute neighbourhood

anything; food, grocery, healthcare, parks, are a 15 minute walk away. this helps prevent stress and improves efficiency

# data[].attributes.body
tension between races

# data[].attributes.body
organisations such as PA can host more CC activities to make more people gather together

youths can always actively participate in these activities with an open mind

don’t discriminate prople of different races

# data[].attributes.body
Job disruptions as AI is taking over we have to find a way to not get replaced lol

# data[].attributes.body
1. government: Introduce policies that encourage responsible and ethical use of AI while protecting jobs and personal data.

2. organisations: Use AI to enhance employees’ productivity instead of replacing them, Integrate AI literacy and digital skills into school curriculum

3. youth: Learn AI and digital skills through courses, coding, Use AI responsibly and ethically, verifying information instead of relying on it blindly.

# data[].attributes.body
globalization like tourist not being able to understand Singapore's laws and policies, which may disrupt services and local's life. SG also needs to keep up with demands and ensure there is enough entertainment and services catered to the tourist

# data[].attributes.body
By 2030, singapore can cater to any and all vulnerable communities with the help of AI so no one is left behind as technology and time progress.

# data[].attributes.body
must ensure everyone knows how to use ai responsibly,

# data[].attributes.body
By 2050, hope that singapore has stronger peace and harmony, stronger military

# data[].attributes.body
Lack of manpower, tensions with other countries, investment of technology, limited land and resources

# data[].attributes.body
In 2050, 50% of Singapore's energy is renewable energy

# data[].attributes.body
Individuals can stay aware, schools can educate students, improve relationships with other countries

# data[].attributes.body
Land scarcity, limited area and resources to balance being a green city and development.

Build more high rise infrastructure to optimise land space, as well as integrate greenery into our infrastructure (green buildings)

# data[].attributes.body
1. educate in schools during lessons such as cce

2. educate the elderly in community centers

3. have simply tutorials online that everyone can refer to

# data[].attributes.body
-reclaim land for example the CBD

-Invest and research in more compact renewable resources

-People can carry out measures like turning off the lights or electrical appliances when they leave the room

# data[].attributes.body
In the near future, Singapore will have higher connectivity, stronger relationships and bonds with other countries and citizens will be more united.

# data[].attributes.body
In 2035, we hope that in Singapore:

1. Everyone is treated with equal respect regardless of gender, age and SES

2. Everyone will be willing to help each other without discrimination or without seeking a reward in return

3. Everyone has access to basic needs (including those living in poverty)

# data[].attributes.body
A challenge that Singapore has to overcome to build stronger bonds with other countries is to navigate the geopolitical tensions and pressure.

# data[].attributes.body
a potential issue is the just how volatile society is, with harsh weather and climate patterns, along with unpredictable amounts of waste being produced. Not to mention the lack of manpower or resources that can restrict what we can do about current issues and such. We also should not heavily rely on the landfill to dispose of our waste.

# data[].attributes.body
Relationships between individuals of different race, class, and gender needs to be strengthened first, with the first step being to eradicate any discrimination present.

# data[].attributes.body
Somme ways to mitigate the challenge from question 2 is:

1. Government

Maintain a neutral and balanced foreign policy, working with all countries without taking sides.

2. Organisation

Organise student exchange programmes, cultural exchanges, and international collaborations.

3. Youth

Learn about different cultures and current global issues.

# data[].attributes.body
In the future, we hope that Singapore will reduce plastic usage and not have another Semakau Landfill, while expanding green spaces through an increased number of rooftop gardens, where most households can rely on renewable energy.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Governments can provide more opportunities for different social goroups to interact with each other (interracial, interclass) so they can have some understanding of the characteristics of each social group and support each other better.

2. Organisations (onepeople.sg) can host dialogues between dfiferent social communities and programmes organised by the government, encouraging citizens to participate in them

3. As youths, we could utilise CCE lessons to foster greater understanding and gain exposure of other social communities, so as to strengthen cohesion and support for each other, avoiding discrimination of any group.

# data[].attributes.body
In a technologically-advanced society and time, we hope that Singapore can continue to adopt environmentally friendly solutions to combat problems that may arise in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
eco-friendly policies that allow sustainable, indigenous, and biodiverse ecosystems to prosper, as well as an environmentally conscious community so we can live in a place that lasts for generations

# data[].attributes.body
In 2035, Singapore will be a nation where arts and culture is just as valued as sciences

# data[].attributes.body
Harsh weather and climate problem:

Government can invest in Sponge City concept, to increase the efficiency of our sewage system to cope with unpredictable rainfall ( so SG don't flood )

Landfill:

Greater efforts towards recycling, zero waste, propaganda to reduce fast fashion to reduce wastage. People should be educated to better sort their waste to enhance the effectiveness of recycling, so that less waste gets to the landfill. Food waste can also be fed to local farms. Youth can step to advocate for recycling. Instead of putting public dustbin in isolation, governments can also place recycling sorted bins beside so that people can recycle in public. Governments can offer incentives or penalise companies for creating waste and not recycling.

Lack of manpower:

Attract foreign workers to Singapore with scholarships. Replace blue-collar workers with robots while upskilling workers to take on jobs related to technology. Encourage such workers through school programmes or scholarships.

# data[].attributes.body
1 challenge to overcome is mindset (Singaporeans generally value sciences over art since they think that science subjects are able to secure a more stable job)

# data[].attributes.body
Government can push out initiatives for Singaporeans to appreciate art/culture, e.g. sponsor more art and music festivals (help develop future artisits)

Schools can invite guests to educate and give talks about the arts to students

Youth can be more open-minded towards the arts (learning and appreciating different types of arts). Youth can also educate their family about the importance of art/heritage to convince family members to allow youth to pursue these types of careers

# data[].attributes.body
Government

Multinational collaboration amongst countries, especially target to ASEAN. This way, participating countries can exchange information, e.g. their development on eco friendly technology, this way it can speed up the innovation of such machinery.

Any companies that plan on using machinery has to go through a check to ensure that it is as environmentally friendly as possibly, fail to meet the threshold and they will not be allowed to operate.

raise more awareness of the public, especially youths

Partnership with organisations, fund potential workshops taking place in communities

Hand out incentives e.g. vouchers

Organisations/schools

Send experts on environmental sustainability and AI to collab and work on these projects.

conduct workshops using funding from government

Companies should use more eco friendly machinery, or eco friendly measures to be as eco friendly as possibly

Companies promote workers/ schools send students to sign up for workshops on environmental sustainability

If companies reach a certain target, they will receive more incentives

Youths

Educate themselves on environment sustainability

Proactively participate on workshops conducted by government or organisations

Pull their friends into joining these with them

Post on social media -> make more people more interested aka raise awareness globally

# data[].attributes.body
In 2035, AI can help with job security and employment of people instead of against it.

# data[].attributes.body
the big challenge is balancing the use of ai and protecting the environment

- causes large tech companies to take up land space to set up data centers

- depletes water resources in the cooling systems

# data[].attributes.body
Singapore’s pro-AI stance making us have to decide between technological advancements and sustainability

# data[].attributes.body
AI needs a lot of electricity and water. This can increase carbon emissions and put pressure on Singapore’s limited resources. SG must find ways to use AI while keeping energy use and pollution low.

# data[].attributes.body
the increased use of ai which could lead to decreased cognitive ability and a decrease in available jobs on the market

# data[].attributes.body
by 2050, singapore will have flying cars, drone food delivery and students will have their education system redesigned to work together with ai

# data[].attributes.body
Schools:

can teach students and teachers to use AI efficiently and not to misuse or overuse

raise awareness of the negative impacts AI has on the environment

Government:

invest in cleaner and renewable energy sources

invest in research and development on how to make usage of AI energy efficient and reduce its impact on the environment

Youths:

read up on AI's negative impacts

raise awareness via social media

# data[].attributes.body
In 2035, Singapore will be a nation where everyone builds a clean environment together.

# data[].attributes.body
Some people have no motivation with the government plans and policies in keeping a clean environment.

# data[].attributes.body
the government can create more natural green spaces in singapore instead of hdbs or infrastructure <— we lack natural spaces <— small country, govt. has less concern for natural spaces and more concern for housing and amenities etc. (government)

think of more sustainable ways to power and maintain data centres <— e.g. replace the use of water for cooling down data centres with another method instead (organisation)

promoting more sustainable ai by the youth to the citizens, and using more eco-friendly ai <— better in long-term <— learn and preach? (youths/schools)

^^ schools can have courses and timeslots for youths to be educated on the use of ai and to use it as a tool to maximise their own potential instead of heavily relying on it, and schools can promote the use of more sustainable ai as well so that the students can learn and use their knowledge to promote ai to their families/friends

# data[].attributes.body
1. Government can force AI companies to build "speed bumps" into their apps. Instead of giving an instant answer, the software must prompt users to think first

2. Schools can ensure students actually learned the material by ensuring final grades are tied to short, live interviews where students must explain their work and answer unexpected questions on the spot.

3. Instead of asking AI to "write this summary," youths can write the summary themselves and tell the AI, "Act as a tough critic and find the logical flaws in my writing."

# data[].attributes.body
provide incentive such as monetary gains or and elevation in social status thus encouraging unwilling people to comply with the government.

Government can implement laws to fine any offenders to deter people from littering.

Government can drive community efforts .For example community centers can host events such as picking up trash in local community to foster a sense cleanliness and develop a habit to clean after yourself

# data[].attributes.body
Organisation:

Singapore partners with a mix of non-governmental organisations, corporate advocates, and government agencies to drive sustainability. e.g. Singapore Environment Council for green consumerism.

# data[].attributes.body
students can actively learn from morning assemblies and cce lessons about the current state of the world and global issues to encourage others to keep the environment clean and reduce all the unnecessary energy usage, for example: turning off aircons when the classrooms are not in use.
