We rate Singapore’s 2020 and 2030 targets as “Highly Insufficient.” The “Highly Insufficient” rating indicates that Singapore’s climate commitments in 2018 are not consistent with holding warming to below 2°C, let alone limiting it to 1.5°C as required under the Paris Agreement, and are instead consistent with warming between 3°C and 4°C: if all countries were to follow Singapore’s approach, warming could reach over 3°C and up to 4°C. This means Singapore’s climate commitments are not in line with any interpretation of a “fair” approach to the former 2°C goal, let alone the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C limit. If the CAT were to rate Singapore’s projected emissions levels in 2030 under current policies, we would also rate Singapore “Highly Insufficient.”
