China and Singapore are strengthening their commitment to climate action through robust cooperation. Singapore's Minister for Sustainability and the Environment, Grace Fu, lauded China's comprehensive policies, including the ambitious \"30·60\" plan aiming to peak carbon emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. Fu highlighted China's unparalleled deployment of renewable energy and solar panels, emphasizing that these efforts serve as a model for policymakers worldwide.
The two nations share common goals in ecological conservation and sustainable development. The ongoing Tianjin Eco-city project, now in its 15th year, exemplifies their collaborative spirit, serving as a testbed for innovative solutions to environmental challenges. Fu expressed optimism about future joint projects that align sustainable development with climate action, leveraging technology and policy innovation to drive meaningful change.
Both China and Singapore respect the principles of the Paris Agreement, focusing on differentiated responsibilities while seeking areas for cooperation. Initiatives like the Global Development Initiative (GDI) and the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) provide platforms for enhanced international collaboration, particularly in public health, digitalization, and green transition. This partnership underscores the potential for converging sustainable development with environmental protection, aiming for a resilient and eco-friendly global economy.
