Three days after Singapore announced ambitious plans to hit net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, a panel of experts discussed key climate change issues ahead of the United Nations 27th Conference of the Parties (COP27).

Singapore’s updated climate targets, including its plan to reach net-zero emissions, will be formally submitted during the COP27 climate summit at the Egyptian seaside town of Sharm el-Sheikh from 6 to 18 November 2022.

Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, in announcing Singapore’s latest net-zero pledge, said it was a “stretch goal” due to limited options to deploy renewable energy at scale.

The ability to meet the promise would “depend on the continued international commitment by everyone to the Paris Agreement and their climate pledges”, he added, referring to the landmark international treaty inked at the 2015 summit.
