Republic also looking at whether to raise its 2030 climate target to support the long-term goal
Singapore is considering setting 2050 as the year for it to have its planet-warming emissions reach net zero, giving clarity to a timeline announced earlier this year.
The National Climate Change Secretariat (NCCS) on Monday said Singapore is also deciding whether to raise its 2030 climate target to support the longer-term goal.
The current target lets the country continue releasing planet-warming emissions, reaching a peak of 65 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions around 2030.
The NCCS said the public can give their views on the 2050 timeline and the possibility of an updated 2030 target via government feedback portal Reach. The public consultation exercise opened on Monday and closes on Sept 26.
