Welcome to the Climate Action SG Alliance
Climate change is a global emergency which requires collective action.
The Climate Action SG Alliance aims to harness the power of mass communication in strengthening the narrative for climate reformation so as to translate public awareness into action.
Together, we will build a sustainable, resource-efficient and climate resilient Singapore.
Our origins
The idea for the Climate Action SG Alliance first emerged at a roundtable hosted by Senior Minister of State for the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment Dr Amy Khor on 3 January 2018 and attended by leading green groups and individuals in Singapore.
The Alliance was then formally announced in Parliament on 6 March 2018 at the Committee of Supply debate by Dr Khor, where she shared that it was agreed in her dialogue with NGOs that climate action collaboration and co-ordination across all stakeholders could be stronger.
Through a grassroots effort, the Alliance — chaired by Jessica Cheam (2018 to 2021), founder and managing director of Eco-Business — met for the first time on 4th April 2018 to set out its mission, objectives and what it wants to achieve.
We believe in collective action
Since 2018, the Alliance has been working on several initiatives on climate action.
The Alliance identified and adopted various channels to spur 3P (people, public, private) support and action, so as to help Singapore raise awareness on climate action, with the aim to achieve Singapore’s sustainability targets, under the Paris Climate Agreement, and to reduce our carbon emissions.
In their first year, the Alliance met every three months, with many separate meetings between members in between these quarterly meetings, as well as with other organisations and representatives from the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment.
The Alliance undertook three broad projects under the following names and themes: Project Education, Project Business and Project Recycling.
“Never before have we had such an awareness of what we are doing to the planet, and never before have we had the power to do something about that… The future of humanity and indeed, all life on earth, now depends on us.”
— Sir David Attenborough
