Singapore Launches Go Green SG 2026 Environmental Campaign with Over 1,000 Activities

An environmental campaign with over 1,000 initiatives will run in Singapore from May 11 to June 28. The Silicon Review reports on Go Green SG 2026's focus on climate adaptation, textile waste tours, and Sentosa's cooling nodes.

Singapore is launching its most ambitious environmental campaign yet. The fourth edition of Go Green SG will run from May 11 to June 28, 2026, featuring more than 1,000 activities organized by over 500 partners across the People, Private and Public sectors.

The campaign supports the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment’s designation of 2026 as the Year of Climate Adaptation, making climate action a national priority for the low-lying island state. "It's important for the public to know what climate adaptation is about and how it is relevant to them," said Gloria Tan, NEA's director of 3P Network Division.

Behind-the-scenes experiences

For the first time, fashion social enterprise Cloop is opening its sorting facility to the public. Located at APSN Centre for Adults, the facility processes about 1,000kg of textile waste weekly from its 450 yellow bins island wide.

"After they donate, it's out of sight, out of mind, and then they might shop for new clothes again," said Cloop co-founder Jasmine Tuan. "Through Go Green SG, we want to empower the community to be part of the solution." None of the textiles handled by Cloop end up in landfills they are resold, recycled or repurposed.

Sentosa's cooling innovations

Sentosa Development Corporation and the National Environment Agency are jointly offering guided tours showcasing the island's biodiversity and climate adaptation features.

Visitors can explore cool nodes being rolled out across Sentosa pit stops featuring shades, fans, and heat-reflective paint that reduces surface temperatures by up to 2°C. The tour also includes a visit to Siloso Beach Resort's wormery, where 100 trays of earthworms convert food waste into 300kg of fertilizer monthly.

"Sustainability is a very wide topic. Very often people focus on carbon emissions, but as custodians of the island, we must be comprehensive in our approach looking not just at decarbonisation but also protection of our natural and historical heritage," said Anthony Tan, SDC's director of sustainability.

Other activities across the island

• Earth Observatory of Singapore tours showcasing research on rising sea levels with hands-on workshops 
• Singapore Fashion Council escape-room workshops on denim production's environmental impact

More than 232,000 people participated in the 2025 edition. This year's campaign builds on the Singapore Green Plan 2030, which includes targets to reduce waste sent to landfill by 20% by 2026 and have 80% of buildings greened by 2030 .

As Singapore rolls out its largest-ever environmental campaign with over 1,000 activities during the Year of Climate Adaptation, The Silicon Review examines how this island nation one of the world's most vulnerable to rising sea levels is mobilizing citizens, businesses, and communities to build resilience against an increasingly uncertain climate future.
