Changing Course – Climate Adaptation Hub set to welcome visitors by the end of 2026.
Sentosa is adding an unusual new attraction to its line-up, but don't expect rollercoasters.
The island has broken ground on what it says will be Asia's first experiential climate adaptation hub, with Changing Course – Climate Adaptation Hub set to welcome visitors by the end of 2026.
Located at Imbiah Lookout beside the refreshed Sentosa Nature Discovery, the free attraction will transform the former Sijori Wondergolf site into an outdoor learning space where visitors can discover how nature and communities adapt to climate change.
Developed by Sentosa Development Corporation (SDC) and Terra SG, the hub is the first project under the SG Eco Fund's Climate Adaptation Package and forms part of a new three-year partnership between SDC and the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment's SG Eco Fund.
Visitors can explore seven themed zones covering topics such as flood resilience, coastal protection, passive cooling, biodiversity recovery and ecological succession.
From 2027, paid guided learning journeys will also be available for corporates, schools and members of the public.
The educational content was developed with students, teachers and academic partners from the National Institute of Education and Nanyang Technological University.
“Sustainability is most meaningful when people can experience it for themselves. Changing Course reflects our vision of Sentosa as a place where guests can discover not only nature but also how we can strengthen it for future generations,” said Thien Kwee Eng, CEO of Sentosa Development Corporation.
Desmond Ho, trust secretary, SG Eco Fund, added: “Building climate resilience is a shared responsibility that requires the collective efforts of stakeholders across the public, private and community sectors. Through our partnership with SDC, we hope to deepen the awareness of the impacts of climate change and inspire more ground-up action to strengthen Singapore's climate adaptation.”
