Amidst the intensifying effects of climate change being increasingly felt, Singapore has designated 2026 as the Year of Climate Adaptation — to raise awareness on the importance of the issue and strengthen the resilience of business and communities.
In line with these efforts, the fourth edition of the Go Green SG movement, which runs from May 11 to June 28, will see some 500 partners from across the people, private and public sectors organising more than 1,000 initiatives.
These “new and behind-the-scenes exclusive” activities are designed to rally Singaporeans to take climate action, said the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment (MSE) on Monday (May 4).
“Go Green SG is our whole-of-nation movement to rally citizens, businesses and the community to take collective action towards a more environmentally sustainable and climate-resilient Singapore,” the ministry added.
During MSE’s Committee of Supply debate on March 3, Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu set out three key domains in which Singapore’s adaptation measures will be reviewed: coastal resilience; heat and flood resilience; and, food and water resilience.
Among the activities are new guided tours jointly organised by the Sentosa Development Corporation and the National Environment Agency to allow participants to explore biodiversity and conservation efforts at Sentosa Nature Discovery.
