The government is embarking on a series of public consultations to get feedback on climate change related issues.
Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean, who kicked off the process on Wednesday, said the results of the feedback will go towards developing the national climate change strategy 2012.
This document is targeted for release by the middle of next year and will elaborate on Singapore’s sustainable development strategy, and how the country intends to meet the target to reduce emissions by seven to 11 per cent, below the business-as-usual level in 2020.
Mr Teo said the 2012 document will be an important foundation to the long term strategy and actions needed to tackle climate change beyond 2020.
The feedback can be sent via an e-consultation process and through the REACH website.
There are also plans to hold public discussions with business groups and community and grassroots organisations.
The key target areas are addressing the climate change challenges for homes, the transport sector and business industries.
