Themed “Build Green: The Next Decade”, IGBC 2016 signifies new hopes, aspirations for the green building journey in the next decade, albeit mitigating climate change.

The historic Paris landmark agreement signed by 195 nations at COP 21 on 12 Dec 2015 marked a defining point in our era towards taking action on climate change mitigation, collectively committing to a common goal of limiting global warming to below 2 degrees Celsius.

Singapore will continue to play her part in the global community, by pledging to reduce emission intensity by 36% from 2005 levels, by 2030, and to stabilise emissions with the aim of peaking around 2030. Climate change mitigation and environmental sustainability have become imperative for all stakeholders to grapple with for survival. We would need to invest more time and resources to mitigate and adapt to climate change before it is too late. Translating key policies into action will be crucial for the next decade and beyond.
