Securing a sustainable future for Singapore has always been an integral part of our vision for our long-term plans.
Our priority is to create a clean and green environment for all Singaporeans. We also remain committed in pursuing sustainable development to support a more resilient future for generations to come. As part of the Long-Term Plan Review (LTPR), we are studying key trends and challenges in the next 50 years and beyond, that would impact Singapore’s journey towards becoming climate-ready and to safeguard the future of our environment.
From the LTPR public engagement, it is evident that Singaporeans care for our environment and recognise the increasing importance of planning for a sustainable city. For example, they suggested having a variety of green spaces that serve different needs, such as to provide recreation space for residents, to mitigate the impact of climate change, and to conserve Singapore’s rich biodiversity.
Singaporeans also felt that our built environment can be better integrated with nature, suggested various strategies to minimise energy usage and close our resource loops, and highlighted the potential of leveraging design and technology to combat climate change.
