As global temperatures rise, China and Singapore are stepping up as climate allies, sharing strategies to tackle environmental challenges. Singapore's Minister for Sustainability and the Environment, Grace Fu, highlighted China's ambitious '30·60' plan—carbon peaking by 2030 and neutrality by 2060—as a "detailed and comprehensive model" for policymakers worldwide.
From Eco-Cities to Renewable Energy 🔋
The Tianjin Eco-city, a 15-year joint project, shines as a testbed for green innovation. "We wanted a place with demonstrative value," Fu said, reflecting on its role in blending urban living with nature. Meanwhile, China's solar energy deployment "no other countries can match" underscores its renewable energy leadership.
Shared Values, Shared Solutions 💡
Both nations prioritize ecological conservation, with President Xi Jinping emphasizing that "mountains and rivers are as precious as gold." Singapore’s "City in Nature" vision mirrors this ethos. Fu stressed collaboration under frameworks like the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and Global Development Initiative (GDI), which integrate climate action into global development. "What’s good for people must be good for the environment," she added.
Innovation for Tomorrow’s World 🌐
From digital tools to waste reduction, Fu sees China’s tech prowess as key to global sustainability. "Aligning development with climate action isn’t optional—it’s essential," she said. As youth demand urgent climate action, this partnership offers a blueprint for greener growth.
