Home News. Mr Chairman, the Singapore Green Plan articulates our national climate ambitions, as well as our commitment to climate action and achieving net zero emissions.
Climate change is a challenge of the global commons. The cost of solutions will be incurred by individuals, enterprises and economies; while the benefits will take time and accrue to the global community. But we must act now, individually and collectively, by making responsible choices and trade-offs to avert a tragedy of the commons and prevent grave harm to our environment.
Our land transport system is an important part of this endeavour. It is our third largest source of emissions, accounting for 15 per cent of national emissions today. Over the decades, we have taken significant steps to build an efficient and sustainable transport system. We have progressively introduced policies on car ownership and usage, invested heavily in public transport and active mobility, and promoted the transition to cleaner-energy vehicles.

As a result of these moves and other changes, I am happy to share with Members that our land transport carbon emissions peaked at 7. While this is a significant inflection, we must do more to work towards net zero emissions, as stated by SM Teo Chee Hean. This is a reduction in absolute emissions. It is an ambitious goal that will require policy moves, new technologies, and behavioural shifts across our land transport system. Along with the decarbonisation of the power grid, electrification of vehicles is a key initiative that will have a material impact.
