Singapore has 22 members in its youth delegation at this year's COP31. Among them, Ms Tanvi Thombre, who experienced the hottest heatwave in Germany since 1881, and now develops smart plant towers that clean air in offices. Her team lead, Mr Benjamin Long, was inspired by sustainability activist and former US Vice-President Al Gore. His day job is making electric vehicle charging as seamless and interoperable as possible. They join delegates from around the world exchanging ideas and pushing for a greater say in climate decisions. Eugene Chow reports from Antalya, Türkiye.
