GovTech’s role in the Singapore Green Plan 2030

Sustainability banner image

Our journey to net zero

In 2021, the Singapore Government unveiled the Singapore Green Plan 2030, an ambitious and rigorous strategy that outlines the country’s long-term plan to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 with the public sector leading the way.

One of our key focus areas is to take the lead in de-carbonising public sector technology to mitigate global warming and secure a smart and sustainable future for the people living in Singapore.

We drive the sustainability agenda as a convenor and orchestrator of all internal and external stakeholders and touchpoints of GovTech.
— Liew Hui Ming, Director, Digitalisation Strategy & Partnership Office
