$19 billion of public green projects
In Singapore’s Budget 2021 announcement on Feb 16 by Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat, the topic of climate change was mentioned. “Climate change is a global emergency and has caught on the government to take stronger climate actions,” said Heng in his speech, as he notes that Singapore’s initiative towards a greener nation is a continuous one that started with Lee Kuan Yew.
With that, Heng introduced the Singapore Green Plan 2030 that will focus on Singapore’s journey towards being a greener nation. “Sustainability is journey and not a destination. The work is never done,” said Heng.
