Along with the rest of the global community, Singapore will play our part to reduce emissions in support of the long-term temperature goal of the Paris Agreement. We have put forth a long-term low- emissions development strategy (LEDS) that aspires to halve emissions from its peak to 33 MtCO2 e by 2050, with a view to achieving net-zero emissions as soon as viable in the second half of the century. This will require serious and concerted efforts across our industry, economy and society. We also need to rely on global advances in low-carbon technology and on The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Changeâs (IPCC) Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5oC highlights that human-induced warming has already reached approximately 1oC above pre-industrial levels in 2017.
