If you are a cleantech enthusiast and visiting Singapore in July 2018, you probably can’t afford to miss the CleanEnviro Summit Singapore (CESS) 2018.

Just the right place for participants ranging from environmental scientists to everyone who is concerned and interested in clean environment and health friendly cities.
In fact, it’s not just a phrase when the Singaporean government states “From a ‘Garden City’ to a ‘City in a Garden’”. Indeed, there are enough project examples, initiatives, symbols and other efforts proving how serious they are about sustainable urbanization. For instance, Singapore’s first dual-mode desalination plant, appearing like appearing like a city park, desalinates 137,000 cubic meters daily. Some months ago, researchers at the Singapore-ETH Centre’s Future Cities Laboratory came up with the novel idea of using Google Street View to map and investigate the ecosystem of Singapore. The autonomous taxi nuTonomy, the fact that green buildings are mandatory since 2008, the Skyrise Greenery Incentive Scheme, the Maritime Singapore Green Initiative or the 18 Supertrees in Gardens by the Bay are just a few more examples. The results are certainly something to be proud of. In 2016, Singapore is ranked in second place of the world’s most sustainable cities according to the Sustainable Cities Index 2016.
