Budget 2022 boosts Singapore's green building efforts

Singapore

AS in many parts of the world, the built environment in Singapore plays a significant role in its decarbonisation efforts. Buildings in the city-state account for over 20 per cent of the country's emissions and are responsible for over a third of its total electricity consumption.

Greening its buildings is hence a key strategy in achieving its sustainability ambitions under the Singapore Green Plan 2030, and in fulfilling its international commitments on climate change, says the nation's Green Building Masterplan.
