Deadline: 12-Nov-23
The National Environment Agency has announced a Call for Ideas Fund to help applicants kickstart projects that seek to resolve an environmental challenge in the local community.
These projects should seek to encourage the community to make environmentally responsible choices through outreach and education efforts.
In 2022, Singapore generated about 7.39 million tonnes of solid waste. This is approximately a 6.4 per cent increase than in 2021. Singapore’s environmental challenge remains pressing. Each can play a part to adopt and champion a zero waste lifestyle.
