Singapore's Stance on Fossil Fuel Phase-out Language at COP30

Ms He Ting Ru asked the Minister for Sustainability and the Environment whether the Government supported the inclusion of language describing the phasing out of planet-warming fossil fuels in the decision text of the UN Climate Change Conference 2025 (COP30).

Ms Grace Fu Hai Yien: Singapore supported the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Conference of the Parties COP28's decision calling on all countries to contribute to global efforts to transition away from fossil fuels in energy systems. At COP30, multiple parties tabled versions of texts to advance work on this decision, which did not achieve consensus. Singapore remained engaged, along with the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) 1 , in the negotiations and will continue to work constructively to advance the global energy transition.

Note(s) to Question No(s) 19:

1 AOSIS is an inter-governmental organisation representing the negotiating interests of small island and low-lying coastal developing states, of which Singapore is a member.
