Future of the Environment
Securing a sustainable future for Singapore has always been an integral part of our vision for our long-term plans.
Last updated 25 May 2026
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.
Climate change
With climate change impacts such as rising seas and heat in mind, plans focus on strengthening Singapore’s resilience through protective infrastructure and climate-responsive design.
Enhancing stewardship
Building on a science-based approach, plans will guide how nature is protected and integrated with development, balancing environmental needs with Singapore’s limited land.
Greater variety of green and blue
More parks and waterways will be brought closer to homes, giving residents easier access to nature while supporting recreation, biodiversity, and a more liveable environment.
Green transition
As Singapore moves towards a low-carbon future, plans support greener infrastructure, clean energy solutions, and sustainable systems to help achieve net-zero emissions.
