Living Sustainably Together
Covid-19 has shown how our actions make a difference to the environment. We will make sustainability a way of life.
We will:
- produce more clean energy by deploying more solar panels on building rooftops and reservoirs, and converting food waste to energy at Tuas Nexus
- reduce greenhouse emissions
- plant one million trees and new mangrove areas to preserve our carbon sinks
We will bring more nature to the city. We will:
- add 200 hectares of nature parks and 140 hectares of city parks and gardens over the next 5 years
- enhance our green corridors and park connectors so that every household is within a 10 minute walk from a park
We will:
- introduce new concepts of sustainable living with the HDB Green Towns programme
- rejuvenate our heartlands with home improvement and neighbourhood upgrading initiatives, as well as the Remaking Heartlands programme
- strengthen coastal and inland flood protection against climate change and rising seas
- significantly increase local food production with our 30 x 30 Express strategy and develop long term local production capabilities for essential supplies
