The Singapore Green Plan 2030, unveiled in February 2021, is a whole-of-nation movement with the aim of achieving the Republic’s 2050 net-zero emissions target. This is a collective effort, says Lee, and it is important not to work in silos.
Greening Singapore will involve transforming every aspect of our lives, and Singaporeans must be prepared for this “difficult” change, says Minister for National Development Desmond Lee.
“Through the [Singapore] Green Plan [2030], you see that every aspect of our lives — our infrastructure, our transport, our industry, the way we work, the way we live — transformation will happen in every aspect of it. But… the government and people have to carry all these changes, because change does entail some pain,” says Lee on a fireside chat at Temasek’s Ecosperity Week on June 7.
