Singapore has undertaken three National Climate Change Studies over the past decade to better understand the potential impact of climate change on the country. The findings of the latest study, the Third National Climate Change Study (V3), was released by Centre for Climate Research Singapore (CCRS) in January 2024.
Our Climate Policy in a Nutshell. GAME CHANGING CLIMATE CHANGE. Climate change is an existential challenge for Singapore. We need to protect Singapore against the impacts of climate change, and contribute to global efforts to mitigate carbon emissions. COOPERATING WITH INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS.
Climate Change: Singapore will do our part frequent heavy rainfall events, and mean sea level rise of up to 1 metre by 2100. To enable Singapore to tackle climate change and prepare for the future, we must build up 3 types of resilience: Climate resilience to address the existential threats of climate change, especially rising sea levels ...
SINGAPORE’S CLIMATE AMBITION AND REVISED CARBON TAX LEVELS. As announced at Budget 2022, Singapore will raise our climate ambition to achieve net zero emissions by or around mid-century.
On 4 November 2022, Singapore submitted its second update to the 2030 Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and an Addendum to Singapore’s Long-Term Low-Emissions Development Strategy (LEDS) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
On 25 October 2022, Singapore announced that it would raise its national climate target to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 as part of our Long-Term Low-Emissions Development Strategy (LEDS).
Singapore has already experienced warming higher than the global average because of the urban heat island effect - a phenomenon of urban structures trapping heat in the day and releasing...
Singapore’s annual mean temperatures, which increased at a rate of 0.24 degrees Celsius per decade in the past 40 years, is projected to rise to 0.55 degrees Celsius per decade by end century under the high emissions scenario. 5 Very hot days will become more frequent.
Climate change is a global challenge, and Singapore is taking firm actions to do our part to build a sustainable future. What Are The Green Plan’s Key Targets? - Plant 1 million more trees. - Quadruple solar energy deployment by 2025. - Reduce the waste sent to landfill by 30% by 2030. - At least 20% of schools to be carbon neutral by 2030.
Singapore’s Third National Climate Change Study (V3) To further advance our understanding of tropical climate variability and change for Singapore and the Southeast Asia region, CCRS has carried out V3 for building the next generation of climate projections for a climate-resilient Singapore.
