Let us continue to keep Singapore Clean and Green!! The Republic has achieved a 30 per cent decrease in carbon intensity, for a 10-year period between 2000 and 2010. Speaking at a UN Climate Change Conference in Lima, Peru on Wednesday, Environment and Water Resources Minister Vivian Balakrishnan said this compares favourably with the global average decrease of 0.12 per cent over the same period. Singapore is a member of the Small Island Developing States. On a global scale and at an aggregate level, the Republic contributes very little to global emissions. It is ranked 113th out of 140 countries, when it comes to carbon emissions generated per GDP dollars. However, every little bit counts when it comes to combating climate change and Singapore will do its part, said Dr Balakrishnan.
