Our social compact is an intergenerational one. We have inherited a strong, prospering Singapore from previous generations. We will need to continue stewarding our limited resources sustainably, to deal with the challenges of today, and provide a strong foundation for the future.
Managing our limited land and environmental resources
We will continue to recycle and refresh limited land resources through schemes, such as Voluntary Early Redevelopment Scheme, to respond to evolving needs.
We will work with businesses and industry partners to move towards more sustainable business models and to seize opportunities in the low-carbon economy. Read more about how our businesses will be supported in the transition to a more sustainable future.
We ask that all Singaporeans — including individuals, families and business owners — do their part to adopt more environmentally sustainable practices and work with us towards a more climate-resilient future.
Strengthening our food and water security
We are investing in our infrastructure to meet future water demand and build resilience amidst the effects of climate change.
On food, we will continue to diversify our food import sources, build our stockpiling capabilities and work closely with the agri-food industry to scale up local production.
We ask that Singaporean consumers and businesses actively do their part to conserve water, and support our local agri-food industry by purchasing more local produce.
Upholding fiscal prudence and responsibility
We will continue to manage our public finances responsibly, ensure sufficient revenues to cover our spending, and keep our fiscal system fair and progressive.
We ask that all Singaporeans continue to think long term so we leave behind a Singapore that can continue to thrive for generations to come.
