Abstract: In February 2020, Singapore officially released its enhanced Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and Long-Term Low-Emissions Development Strategy (LEDS) (NCCS, 2020a). Both development and climate strategies would be submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). According to Singapore’s new enhanced NDC, the country further aims to peak its national emissions at 65 million tonnes of Carbon Dioxide equivalent (MtCO2e) around 2030, which is projected to be consistent with Singapore’s existing 2030 NDC. In addition, Singapore’s energy intensity target under its existing NDC, which aims to achieve a 36% reduction in Emissions Intensity (EI) from 2005 level by 2030. To further facilitate climate change mitigation and sustainable development, Singapore has addressed its long-term development strategy in the LEDS for the post-2030 period. Specifically, Singapore aims to halve its national emissions from its peak (i.e. 65 MtCO2e around 2030 as addressed in the enhanced NDC) to 33 MtCO2e by 2050, to achieve net zero emissions as soon as viable in the second half of the century. To support Singapore’s lowemissions development, rigorous analysis is needed, which will inform policymaking in this field by providing quantitative benchmarking information (Su and Ang, 2020; Su, Ang, and Li, 2017).
