Committee of Supply 2023 debate, Day 4: Don Wee on GreenGov.SG and green procurement
Under GreenGov.SG, the public sector aims to peak its carbon emissions around 2025, ahead of the national target. Specific goals are set for buildings, IT, transport and solar deployment, with public sector infrastructure and operations such as public transport and healthcare facilities also included. How will this be done without affecting the quality of public services? Will there be higher costs, leading to higher fees? If so, what mitigation measures are there, particularly in view of the current inflationary environment? MP Don Wee asked these questions in Parliament on Wednesday (Mar 1). On plans for green procurement in the public sector, he wanted to know how wide the scope will be and how SMEs will be supported so that they do not lose out.
