The Singapore Green Plan is Singapore's environmental blueprint for the future. Its objective is to ensure that Singapore, through sound environmental management, achieves economic development that meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the needs of future generations. The first Singapore Green Plan was released in 1992 by the then Ministry of the Environment, now known as the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources (MEWR). MEWR has since updated it and the current plan is called the Singapore Green Plan 2012 or, simply, SGP 2012. MEWR did a review of the SGP 2012 in 2005 and released a revised edition of the plan in 2006.
