Update on Progress of OneMillionTrees Movement and Extent of Singapore's Green Cover

29 Mr Melvin Yong Yik Chye asked the Minister for National Development (a) what is Singapore's green cover as of end-2024; and (b) whether Singapore is on track to meet its commitment under the OneMillionTrees movement to plant one million more trees across Singapore by 2030.

Mr Desmond Lee: Today, we have safeguarded more than 7,800 hectares of green spaces in the form of nature reserves, nature parks, gardens and parks and integrated greenery throughout the city. As a result of our greening efforts, Singapore's green cover currently stands at around 40%.

Under the OneMillionTrees movement, we aim to plant one million more trees across Singapore by 2030. Since the launch of the movement in April 2020, we have planted more than 750,000 trees with the help of the community. We are on track to meeting our target.
