Case Workshop on “Putting a Price on Carbon: Hard Targets to Keep Singapore Going”

Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide contribute to global warming and climate change. A carbon tax imposes a charge on large emitters of greenhouse gases to encourage them to reduce their emissions. About 80% of greenhouse gas emissions in Singapore are covered by its carbon tax, which is a key instrument in Singapore’s commitment to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Participants at this workshop will discuss the case study “Putting a Price on Carbon: Hard Targets to Keep Singapore Going” which is included in LKYSPP Case Insights Unit’s latest book “Dilemmas in Sustainable Development: Public Policy Case Studies from Asia”. The case study recounts the introduction of the carbon tax in Singapore and analyses the diverse interests that were affected. Participants will have the chance to put themselves in the shoes of different stakeholders – businesses, consumers/households, climate activists and government – and debate future adjustments to Singapore’s carbon tax.
