Decisive net-zero shift will establish Singapore's economic chops: Teo Chee Hean

Singapore

SINGAPORE now has more options that will let it reach a more ambitious target for net-zero carbon emissions, Senior Minister Teo Chee Hean told Parliament on Tuesday (Mar 8), after the goal moved up from the second half of the century to "by or around mid-century".

Singapore should make the decisive shift to net zero to become "an attractive place for green economic activities" and establish an early competitive edge in a low-carbon future, he said.
