Back to all Network Members

Singapore, a highly urbanised and densely populated city state, adopts a holistic strategy to ensure a liveable and sustainable environment. The country has progressively reduced pollutant emissions from the industry and transport network by implementing measures to tighten emission and fuel quality standards, and incentives to take up cleaner vehicles. These initiatives have resulted in improved air quality.

"Singapore is proud to be a part of the global BreatheLife campaign. We are committed to improving air quality to safeguard the public’s health. Under the Singapore Sustainable Blueprint, we have set targets for key air pollutants to be achieved by 2020 and beyond. Singapore has also designated 2018 as the Year of Climate Action. As a responsible member of the international community, we will endeavour to fulfil our commitments under the 2015 Paris Agreement. We will also partner the community to take climate action for a sustainable future, and to make Singapore the best liveable city."
