Speaking at Singapore International Energy Week (SIEW) 2022, Wong says Singapore will submit these updates to its Long-Term Low-Emissions Development Strategy (LEDS) and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) by the end of 2022.
Singapore will raise its national climate target to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, announced Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong on Oct 25.
The Republic will also reduce emissions to around 60 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO2e) in 2030 after peaking emissions earlier, as part of a revised 2030 Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). This is down from 65 MtCO2e previously.
