The Marina Bridge, which houses the nine crest gates, stands at Marina Barrage and separates the Marina Reservoir from the sea in Singapore, on Thursday, Feb. 6, 2020. While governments around the world are struggling to meet the goals of the Paris agreement. Singapore is devising a S$100 billion ($72 billion) plan to safeguard the city against temperatures and floodwaters several times those levels. The real challenge facing the island, though, is water. Singapore has a network of reservoirs to catch most of its rainwater and is able to recycle about 40% of its water needs. Photographer: Wei Leng Tay/Bloomberg via Getty Images
