About the Environment & Sustainability
The Environment & Sustainability thematic area explores how human activity shapes the world around us, and our collective responsibility as individuals, communities, and organisations, to meet the needs of today without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs.
This covers how we respond to climate change, protect and restore nature, use energy and resources more sustainably, reduce consumption and waste, and build a greener economy and society. These areas are interconnected, shaping how we live, work and interact with our environment. Together, they support a Singapore that is more liveable, climate-resilient and sustainable for the future.
