SG Climate Rally

SGCR's mission is to bring about a bold, just and necessary transition to net zero emissions in Singapore by 2050 by mobilising broad support from the public, policymakers and businesses.

This transition must be premised on equity, collaboration and care, and will require the transformation of our economic and socio-political systems, as well as our current relationship with the natural world.

SG Climate Rally's story

SG Climate Rally was born from the understanding that we face a climate emergency, and that individual action alone is insufficient to tackle it. They stand for climate justice and push for a just transition; seeking to uplift communities and work with those in power to achieve fair, ambitious climate policy to safeguard our future.

Their Calls to Action to reflect the intersectional nature of climate change and make clear that the green recovery we need must be fair, just and equitable; leaving no one behind. They call on the Government, corporations and communities to:    
  1. Bring Power to the People
  2. Launch a Green Recovery
  3. Redefine Pragmatism and Growth

What they do

Singapore's first Climate Rally 2019

In 2019, SGCR organised Singapore’s first climate rally with three Calls to Action: for the government to face the truth about the climate emergency, combat the crisis with a national climate mitigation plan, and engage the people on the climate crisis. Over 2,000 people turned up at the rally, demonstrating the people's support for the government to pursue ambitious climate policy. (Read More)

Petrol Hike Petition 2021

On Labour Day 2021, SGCR organised an open meeting marking the delivery of a petition of 2063 individual and 19 organisational signatories. Climate change is an urgent issue, but ride-hailing app drivers and food delivery workers should not be forced to pay for it when it's the businesses powered by fossil fuels and driven by the endless drive for profit that affect climate change the most.

For this petition, the movement collaborates with delivery riders, particularly app-based food couriers, to receive a full rebate on the petrol tax. This petition demands 5 government agencies for better income, legal and medical rights for private-hire drivers and food delivery riders, full rebates on the petrol tax hike due to green transport, better affordability for green/hybrid cars, and development of infrastructures for pedestrians and riders’ safety.  (Read More)
