Singapore’s roving climate-adaptation exhibition is on the move. After its opening leg at One Punggol from 24 to 28 October, the free exhibition Our Climate-Ready Home travels to Westgate in Jurong from 31 October to 4 November 2026, before concluding at Kampung Admiralty in Woodlands from 18 to 22 November.
Organised by Singapore’s Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment (MSE) together with partnering government agencies, the exhibition supports the country’s Year of Climate Adaptation. It invites visitors to experience what hotter days, heavier rain, dry spells and rising seas mean for everyday life — and what Singapore is doing to stay resilient.
From Punggol to Jurong: three stops across Singapore
The exhibition was launched at One Punggol on 24 October, with Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Energy, Trade and Industry (Trade) Gan Kim Yong as guest of honour, alongside Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu and pupils from Mee Toh School in the Punggol community.
Set against the familiar backdrop of a public housing estate, the exhibition takes visitors through Singapore’s collective efforts to build a climate-ready nation, with stories from communities and businesses and ideas shared by fellow Singaporeans through the ongoing National Adaptation Conversations. In partnership with the Ministry of Education and the People’s Association, students from neighbouring schools and community groups join the exhibition as it roves across the island.
- One Punggol: 24–28 October 2026 (opening leg, now concluded)
- Westgate, Jurong: 31 October – 4 November 2026 (next stop)
- Kampung Admiralty, Woodlands: 18–22 November 2026 (final stop)
What visitors experience
Admission is free, and visitors can join half-hour guided tours showcasing solutions developed by public, private and community partners. One hands-on activity lets visitors place an arm into a box of Project Wolbachia mosquitoes — which do not bite humans. The mosquitoes are deployed in housing estates to suppress the population of dengue-spreading mosquitoes, whose virus develops faster as temperatures rise.
Visitors can also try on wearables that cool the skin by up to 9 degrees Celsius without batteries or refrigeration. The Ground-Up Partners’ Showcase features TerraCool, a terracotta shelter designed by ITE College Central students to cool shared spaces sustainably, and Living Seawalls, an initiative by engineering and consulting firm Witteveen+Bos that repurposes discarded oyster shells for coastal protection and biodiversity. At One Punggol, visitors could also pick up fresh local produce at the SG Farmers’ Market, supporting Singapore’s food resilience.
Families meet the MSE family mascots — Water Wally and Sally from national water agency PUB, Captain Green from the National Environment Agency, and the Singapore Farmed Forces from the Singapore Food Agency — and those who complete the guided tour and a quiz can redeem gifts ranging from a 5-dollar NTUC voucher to plushie keychains.
Why adaptation, why now
Singapore is developing its first National Adaptation Plan, to be released next year, as a long-term, living strategy to keep the country thriving in a changing climate. The plan reviews adaptation measures across heat resilience, coastal and flood resilience, water and food resilience, and the built and natural environment.
Speaking at the launch, Gan linked the haze affecting Singapore since early September — smoke from fires in Indonesia, amplified by drier-than-normal conditions — to the exhibition’s message, calling it a timely reminder to take measures against extreme weather and to look out for people more vulnerable to it, such as the elderly, pregnant women and people with respiratory conditions.
“Our students here today will grow up in a different climate from the one we know,” Gan said. “We want them to inherit a home that is well prepared for the challenges ahead, and a community that knows how to look after it while taking care of one another.” The government has held around 100 National Adaptation Conversations with stakeholders since March, and the public can still contribute ideas and feedback for the plan through the exhibition and an online feedback form.
