Singapore’s Second Voluntary National Review - Ms Grace Fu, Minister for Sustainability and the Environment, at the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development, on 19 July 2023

As a small island city-state with limited land and no natural resources, Singapore has always pursued sustainable development since independence, balancing economic development with environmental sustainability.
