Singapore has taken ambitious early actions on climate change. We made early policy choices that reduced our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, for example, by switching from fuel oil to natural gas – the cleanest form of fossil fuel – for power generation. In 2022, about 92% of its electricity was generated from natural gas, compared to 18% ...
This page presents a high-level insight into extreme events and how extreme events differ from mean climate. Extremes are often related to different physical processes than those that govern long-term means. While an average change in precipitation is primarily due to circulation changes, extremes are much more sensitive to the thermodynamic state and …
When the temperature soared to 99 degrees Fahrenheit last month, Singapore resident Chee Kuan Chew saw just one option: cancel all plans and stay indoors in air-conditioned comfort.
Staying Resilient in The Face of Climate Change 9 Singapore''s future climate depends on the world''s shared socio-economic pathways.

CCRS has released the results of Singapore''s Third National Climate Change Study (V3), which provides the world''s highest resolution climate projections for Singapore and Southeast Asia, including for heat. These updated projections will be used to guide climate adaptation plans so that Singapore remains resilient.
This page presents Singapore''s climate context for the current climatology, 1991-2020, derived from observed, historical data. Information should be used to build a strong understanding of current climate conditions in order to appreciate future climate scenarios and projected change. You can visualize data for the current climatology through spatial …
Singapore''s Third National Climate Change Study (V3) To further advance our understanding of tropical climate variability and change for Singapore and the Southeast Asia region, CCRS has carried out V3 for building the next generation of climate projections for a climate-resilient Singapore. Launched on 5 Jan 2024, the results of V3 are being ...
Trends and Significant Change against Natural Variability. Trends in climate — past, present and future — always need to be understood in the context of the naturally occurring variability.

Singapore is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. The Centre for Climate Research Singapore has projected that Singapore could experience an increase in daily mean temperature of 1.4°C to 4.6°C, more intense and Climate Change: Singapore will do our part frequent heavy rainfall events, and mean sea level rise of up to
Singapore''s resilience to climate change. CCRS was established to develop research expertise in the weather and climate of Singapore and the wider Southeast Asia region. It undertakes projections of Singapore''s future climate for long-term planning, as well as researches the characteristics and causes
Singapore submitted an addendum to the LEDS and the revised 2030 NDC to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 2022. In 2009, Singapore pledged to reduce our emissions by 16% below BAU levels by 2020 ahead of the Copenhagen Summit. Singapore has achieved this pledge with a 32% reduction below …
