Learn how planning, businesses and communities help Singapore sustain jobs, a healthy environment and a good quality of life.

• Goals of sustainable development

  A strong economy, a healthy environment and a good quality of life support one another. Sustainable development needs all three.

• Planning and urban governance

  Plan land uses and infrastructure together, then keep reviewing and maintaining them as needs change.

• Environmental resilience

  Cleaning and greening improve daily life. Mitigation cuts emissions; adaptation makes supplies and services more resilient to climate change.

• Economic resilience and skills

  Businesses and workers need workable alternatives, useful skills and the ability to improve how they operate.

• Social resilience and participation

  Strong relationships help people notice needs, share reliable information and organise support.

• Future sustainability choices

  Singapore's future depends on healthy ecosystems, shared skills and resources, and government that can sustain and improve its plans.
