SG commits to reduce carbon emissions to 50 million tonnes

Singapore will continue to work on the range of mitigation measures available.

Singapore has committed to reduce emissions to between 45-50 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO2e) in 2035 as part of its 2035 Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC).

According to the government, 45 MtCO2e keeps the country on a linear path to its net zero target in 2050, in line with international expectations.

The range takes into consideration the reality that as an alternative-energy-disadvantaged island state, Singapore depends heavily on developments in nascent mitigation technologies and international collaboration.

Singapore will continue to work on the range of mitigation measures available and explore other mitigation options as it has the potential to grow the green economy, create jobs, and generate new opportunities in a low-carbon world.

Senior Minister and Coordinating Minister for National Security Teo Chee Hean, Chairman of the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Climate Change, will further elaborate on Singapore’s approach towards climate action and our 2035 NDC at the Committee of Supply Debate 2025.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
