Under the GreenGov.SG initiative, the public sector has committed to achieving net-zero emissions around 2045, five years ahead of the broader national target.
Following a slew of climate-related announcements in the lead-up to last year’s COP27, further commitments to decarbonisation were largely left out of this year’s Budget. Two weeks on, the Minister for Sustainability and the Environment, Grace Fu, has charted the Republic’s next steps in a speech at her ministry’s Committee of Supply (COS) debate.
From FY2022 ending March 31, the government will publish annual sustainability reports from the public sector, starting with Scope 1 and 2 emissions, along with electricity and water consumption.
