Sustainable World
Since the launch of the Singapore Green Plan 2030 in early-2021, sustainability has been a key priority in our national agenda. Youths, in particular, have shown interest in contributing towards sustainability, as reflected in their active participation in social mobilisation initiatives as well as advocacy (e.g. SG Climate Rally) and exploration of related career pathways towards a Sustainable World.
How You Might Make an Impact
Clean and Sustainable Energy
Harvesting energy that comes from renewable zero emissions sources that do not pollute the environment contribute to environmental sustainability. Clean energy such as wind and solar power are sustainable as they cannot be depleted.
Waste Reduction and Management
Reduce, reuse, and recycle are key aspects of waste reduction that prevents pollution and protects our environment. In Singapore, waste that cannot be reduced will be treated at landfills and incineration plants.
Animal Protection and Conservation
The preservation and protection of animals, plants and their habitats are key in conserving spaces for their growth and reproduction. Maintaining Singapore’s flora and fauna landscape serves to protect our local biodiversity and its ecosystems.
Green Financing and Investing
Achieving economic growth while reducing pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, minimising waste, and improving efficiency of the use of natural resources contribute towards maintaining a green and sustainable world.
Sustainable and Alternative Food Sources
Sustainable food sources are grown in a manner that limits negative impact on the environment and communities that produce them. Having alternative food sources helps Singapore to maintain self-sufficiency whilst reducing reliance and vulnerability of our food supply chain.
