The Singaporean government released the Green Plan 2030 (Green
Plan) in 2021. As is the case for many Singapore initiatives, the
Green Plan has been designed as a multi-agency, coordinated effort
spearheaded by five ministries (the Ministry of Education, the
Ministry of National Development, the Ministry of Sustainability
and the Environment, the Ministry of Trade and Industry, and the
Ministry of Transport) to ensure a “whole of
government” approach to dealing with climate change.
The Green Plan focuses on five key areas:
i) Expanding urban greenery to curb
heat.
ii) Using cleaner energy sources
across all sectors.
iii) Requiring businesses to reduce
emissions and decarbonize.
