All schools and students to be Eco Stewards
The Eco Stewardship Programme builds on current environmental efforts in schools. This will be done holistically through the 4Cs:
- Curriculum: Enhance teaching and learning of sustainability in Science and Humanities, and integrate campus sustainability features into learning resources to make learning more authentic
- Campus: Enhance campus with sustainability features like solar panels, LED lights and energy-efficient fans
- Culture: Practise daily habits like reducing food waste and energy use, and encourage students to champion sound sustainability practices amongst peers
- Community: Leverage community partnerships to offer students more environment-related learning opportunities, and better understanding of future “green jobs”
Schools will reduce carbon emissions
- Aim for at least 20% of schools to be carbon neutral by 2030
- Work towards reducing schools sector’s net carbon emissions by two-thirds by 2030
- Pilot sustainability features and related concepts in four schools
New Science Centre will champion public education on sustainability
- Complement environmental education efforts in schools, such as through learning journeys and mentoring programmes
- Showcase innovative sustainability technologies, with programmes and exhibits to inspire lifestyle changes
IHLs will continue to build on existing efforts
- As strong supporters of environmental sustainability, IHLs have embarked on similar efforts spanning the 4Cs
- Build “greener” infrastructure, promote sustainable living initiatives on campus, engage in IHL-industry partnerships, and contribute to research
MOE's initiatives are in line with the national sustainability agenda under the Singapore Green Plan 2030.
