Synopsis: Green Pulse is an environmental podcast series by The Straits Times which analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change.

The economic fall-out from Covid-19 and the looming threat of climate change has nudged sustainability up the agendas of many economies around the world. Singapore too is looking for ways to become more sustainable. 
But in a country as densely built as Singapore is, what would sustainability look like?
