What exactly is Green Economy? In short, it is an economic system that is aimed at reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities. It also prioritises the use of renewable resources. Transitioning to a green economy is a no-brainer. It helps to protect the environment, mitigate the impact of climate change, and promote the use of resources in a more efficient manner.

So how does it affect you? To start, it promotes job opportunities, decent income and sustainable economic growth. Plus, it can contribute to improved health and overall quality of life. Singapore’s pivot to net zero will entail significant transformation in all facets of daily life, including the economy.

Are you ready to be the change you wish to see in the world?

Green Resources

Green Resources refer to natural resources that are renewable, non-polluting, and have a low impact on the environment. Some examples of green resources are solar, wind, hydro power, rainwater harvesting, recycled materials, sustainable agriculture, and reforestation. These resources are considered "green" because they offer a more environmentally friendly and sustainable alternative to traditional, non-renewable resources such as fossil fuels.

The fact is if we do not transition to the use of green resources, some consequences include climate change, environmental degradation, resource depletion and health impacts. All of which are already happening at an alarming rate. Reducing dependence on non-renewable resources hence requires conviction and a mindset change.

Sustainable Living

The Government’s efforts alone, through policies, are not sufficient for Singapore to achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals net zero by 2050. The choices we make today will either positively or negatively affect Singapore’s social compact.

For instance, taking public transport can help reduce our national carbon footprint. Raising carbon taxes could mean higher electricity bills for households. We are all stakeholders in this collective effort for Sustainable Living. How many sustainability habits are you already practising?

How prepared are you to play your part to help Singapore achieve sustainable living?

Faced with an ever-changing global stage, increasing global temperatures, rising sea levels, supply chain disruptions and crises of every nature possible, the Singapore government is keenly aware of the need to adapt and evolve in the face of change.

According to the World Economic Forum, young people like yourselves, hold the key to creating a better and more Resilient Future. You are the most affected by the crises facing the world, and yet you are also the ones with the most innovative ideas to build a better society for tomorrow.

How ready are you to participate in sustainability-related industries to create a resilient future for Singapore?
