How does the ESP support the Singapore Green Plan?

Climate change is an existential threat to nations around the world. As a low-lying island state, Singapore is particularly vulnerable. While Singapore has long pursued sustainable development, there are renewed ambitions to secure a sustainable future for the next generation and make sustainability a defining characteristic of our country. The Singapore Green Plan 2030 is thus a whole-of-nation movement to advance Singapore’s national agenda on sustainable development.

Sustainability education is paramount in shaping environmentally conscious citizens for Singapore's future. As our nation and the world face increasing ecological challenges, it is crucial to equip our students with the relevant knowledge, skills and dispositions, and foster in them a sense of agency and hope for the future, to address these issues.

A well-structured ESP in our schools will foster a deep understanding of environmental interdependencies, cultivate responsible behaviours, and inspire innovative solutions for a sustainable future. By integrating sustainability concepts across curricula and daily school operations, we can create a holistic learning environment that nurtures eco-literacy and environmental stewardship.
