The Ministry of Finance published an Occasional Paper titled “Green Budgeting in Singapore: A Progress Update”. This Occasional Paper outlines the Government’s green budgeting approach.
Green budgeting takes into account sustainability considerations in the management of our public finances and supports our commitment to climate action. The Government’s budgeting framework has been enhanced over the years in tandem with our latest national strategies and targets on climate and sustainability.
Our green budgeting approach seeks to align with international frameworks and practices, to support our development and implementation of environmentally friendly policies.
