Singapore's Long-Term Low-Emissions Development Strategy

On 1st April 2020, Singapore's National Climate Change Secretariat released the nation’s Long-Term Low-Emissions Development Strategy (LEDS) document, titled “Charting Singapore’s Low-Carbon and Climate Resilient Future”.

“Charting Singapore’s Low-Carbon and Climate Resilient Future” builds on the enhanced NDC’s target by aspiring to halve our emissions from its peak to 33Mt of Carbon Dioxide by 2050, with a view to achieving net zero emissions as soon as viable in the second half of the century. To enable Singapore’s low-carbon transition, the LEDS will have three thrusts:

a. Transformations in industry, economy and society, e.g. more renewable energy, greater energy efficiency, reducing energy consumption;

b. Adoption of advanced low-carbon technologies, e.g. carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS), and use of low-carbon fuels; and

c. Effective international collaboration, e.g. international climate action, regional power grids, market-based mechanisms.
