Singapore’s Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment (MSE) has announced the appointment of Lim Tuang Liang as the country’s first Government Chief Sustainability Officer (GCSO), who will drive the Government’s sustainability efforts.
The appointment comes on the heels of the establishment in 2021 of the Singapore Green Plan 2030, which charts ambitious and concrete targets for the next ten years, bolstering Singapore’s commitments under the UN’s 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda and the Paris Agreement.
The public sector will strive to meet ambitious sustainability targets in carbon reduction and resource efficiency under the Green Plan. This is being spearheaded by the GreenGov.SG initiative. In addition, the Government will collaborate with corporations and community groups to catalyse grassroots initiatives to promote sustainability.
Mr Lim will be in charge of MSE’s Public Sector Sustainability Office (PSSO) and Sustainability Partnerships Office (SPO), which will collaborate with public sector agencies to develop and coordinate GreenGov.SG strategies and lead the Government’s partnership stakeholders, including businesses, civil society partners, and individuals, to advance our national sustainability agenda.
