How to achieve
Urban Planning and Green Infrastructure
Singapore has integrated green spaces and parks into its urban landscape. Initiatives like the Garden City and the Park Connector Network promote biodiversity, reduce the urban heat island effect, and enhance the quality of life for residents
Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency
Singapore is investing in renewable energy sources and promoting energy efficiency. The government has set a target to increase solar energy deployment and aims to deploy 2 gigawatts of solar power by 2030. Energy-efficient building standards and initiatives are also in place to reduce energy consumption.
Water Management
Singapore faces water scarcity due to limited natural water resources. To address this, Singapore has developed a robust water management system. It involves collecting rainwater, treating wastewater, and reusing it for non-potable purposes. Desalination and water recycling technologies are also used to diversify water sources.
Waste Management and Recycling
Singapore emphasizes waste reduction, recycling, and resource recovery. The country has implemented a comprehensive waste management system with waste-to-energy incineration plants, recycling programs, and strict regulations for waste disposal. Singapore aims to increase its overall recycling rate to 70% by 2030
Sustainable Transport
Singapore promotes sustainable transportation options to reduce carbon emissions and congestion. The government encourages the use of public transport, cycling, and walking. It has also implemented measures such as electronic road pricing, congestion pricing, and incentives for electric vehicles
