Singapore says it will reach net zero by 2050—but how will it get there?

In this episode of Green Shift, host David Austin sits down with climate policy expert Melissa Low to unpack Singapore’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), its emissions trajectory, and the risks of relying too heavily on carbon offsets or carbon capture.

We discuss:

• What NDCs are and why they matter under the Paris Agreement
• Singapore’s peak emissions goal and 2035 reduction target
• Why the word “contribution” (not “commitment”) matters
• The difference between good and bad carbon credits
• Why carbon capture is a major stretch in Singapore’s context
• How international collaboration could support national goals

🎙️ Guest:

Melissa Low, Research Fellow, National University of Singapore (NUS)
