Sustainability Perspectives and Insights

Temasek regularly engages distinguished industry, policy, and thought leaders through our advisory panels and network of corporate advisors to gain insights into business, financial markets, and global affairs. We also exchange ideas and share knowledge on a range of topics with our partners and portfolio companies.

Temasek Sustainability Advisory Panel (TSAP)

The TSAP brings together eminent leaders with relevant policy, business, finance, and sustainability experience to augment Temasek’s perspectives and inform our sustainability strategy, as well as to strengthen our thought leadership and franchise value. The advisors provide market insights, engage with the Temasek ecosystem, and foster strong linkages that help to tackle sustainability-related challenges such as climate change, nature conservation, and social inclusion.

This year, we have refreshed the TSAP by welcoming Mr Jason Bordoff, Professor Dr. Johan Rockström, and Mr Ravi Menon. We also extend our sincere appreciation to Professor Carl Folke and Mr Stanley Loh for their valued contributions and dedicated service on the panel.

In May 2026, we held a conversation with our TSAP advisors focused on making progress despite geopolitical fragmentation. Key topics discussed included the shifting sustainability landscape, deciphering durable signals from noise, and the implications for Temasek. In addition, we reaffirmed how Temasek can continue to stay the course amidst geopolitical shifts by deploying capital for greater unlocks, engaging as a steward of our portfolio, and harnessing our ecosystem for partnerships and action.

Ecosperity Week 2026 Dr Johan Rockstrom

We will inevitably breach the 1.5°C limit, intensifying shocks including heatwaves, droughts, floods, fires, and disease outbreaks. Beyond these shocks, we are forcing the planet into a new risk terrain, where crossing tipping points, such as tropical coral reef collapse, ice sheet melting, and Amazon rainforest degradation, cannot be ruled out. Developing a socioecological resilience strategy is a priority. Scalable solutions, like green energy and resilient food systems, can reduce emissions, costs, and import dependency while building flexible, distributed energy and food systems.
