The Inter-Ministerial Committee on Climate Change (IMCCC) will study how Singapore can stabilise our long-term emissions. Its work will build on Singapore’s past and ongoing efforts in sustainable development. The clean and green living environment we enjoy today is the result of the high priority we have placed on protecting the environment over the years. For instance,
we generate about 80% of our electricity from natural gas—the cleanest form of fossil fuel. Efforts to reduce our long-term emissions will be challenging. Our small size limits our ability to draw on alternative energy such as solar, wind or nuclear. Nonetheless, we will enhance energy efficiency efforts and develop low carbon technologies to overcome current constraints.
