Despite being the world's second-busiest container port after Shanghai, Singapore and its waters remain hospitable to a variety of marine and coastal wildlife.

In a guided tour by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA), visitors will be introduced to the maritime ports of Singapore and its Southern Islands.

This is just one of more than 900 activities organised by the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment (MSE), together with some 400 partners from across the people, public and private sectors, for Go Green SG in 2025.

There will be external activities for the public to participate in, and internal ones conducted in schools and organisations.

The aim is to rally the populace to make Singapore a green, liveable and climate-resilient nation.

Among the activities are a mushroom cultivation workshop by the Mushroom World Academy held at Vidacity, tours of Singapore's first inland floating solar farm at Tengeh Reservoir, and upcycling workshops by Kwong Wai Shiu Hospital.

An adaptive reuse of the now-defunct Loyang Primary School in Pasir Ris, Vidacity is a hub for sustainability and agri-tech start-ups, social enterprises and innovators from tertiary institutions and the community.

The annual Go Green SG started as Climate Action Week in 2020, and was revamped into a month-long campaign and rebranded in 2023 after MSE saw growing interest in sustainability efforts among the public.

This third edition will be launched by President Tharman Shanmugaratnam at Changkat Primary School on May 16, and will run till June 29.
