More can be done to reduce building emissions: minister
Singapore
SINGAPORE has made "good progress" with its green building efforts, but there is still "much more" that can be done, National Development Minister Lawrence Wong said on Wednesday.
This is especially pertinent given Singapore's commitment to meet its targets under the historic Paris Agreement on climate change in April, Mr Wong said, as the Republic gears up to reduce its emissions intensity by 36 per cent from 2005 levels by 2030, and stabilise emissions with the goal of peaking around 2030.
