Revolutionising mobility the Singapore way

CAN Singapore as a small island play a significant part in sustainability? Does the country have the necessary infrastructures, systems, and technologies to make the Singapore Green Plan 2030 an attainable goal in the foreseeable future? Which are the companies positioned to play a role in this push for more sustainable energy or technologies that will support these initiatives?

Singapore has already boldly outlined its ambition under the Singapore Green Plan 2030. This ambitious plan outlined concrete targets to support Singapore’s agenda on sustainable development. This includes doubling annual tree planting to one million more trees, reducing the amount of waste to landfill per capita per day by 30 per cent; achieving 75 per cent mass public transport peak-period modal share; greening 80 per cent of Singapore buildings; and for all new car registrations to be of cleaner energy models – and to achieve all these goals by 2030.

While these targets are ambitious, it has been demonstrated that Singapore is an early adopter and has the drive and commitment to continue with its green efforts which also earned the city its recognition as a garden city with the world-class Gardens by the Bay and the Unesco-listed Singapore Botanic Gardens.
