Singapore Management University's Role
As the knowledge partner, SMU curates a content library of useful research and pedagogic materials. It also curates and delivers a suite of training programmes and organise events and public programmes to help stakeholders better address and act on the challenges of climate change.
Singapore Institute of Directors' Role
SID leads the CGS’ engagement and outreach efforts to local directors on its membership platform and other director institutes across ASEAN and APAC region.
Prof Lily Kong
The launch of Climate Governance Singapore marks a significant milestone for Singapore as it steps up its efforts to join the global fight against climate change. With the climate crisis an existential threat, SMU is keen to contribute meaningfully to this global effort through our education, research, infrastructure, and community engagement initiatives.
I am pleased that SMU will be formalising our collaboration with Climate Governance Singapore as its knowledge partner, tapping on our expertise from across the university to curate and manage the content library and training programmes for boards of directors in Singapore.

As we navigate through a decarbonising world coupled with a rapidly changing climate, the launch of Climate Governance Singapore today could not be more timely. With the World Economic Forum’s Climate Governance Principles as the foundation of this initiative and Singapore Management University as our knowledge partner, I am delighted that the Singapore Institute of Directors can become the conduit to directors in Singapore.
I am confident Climate Governance Singapore is well-positioned to equip directors and executives in Singapore with the right knowledge and tools so they are well-positioned to address the challenges posed by the climate emergency in their own organisations and the wider community.

Since the release of the Singapore Green Plan 2030 earlier this year, and with COP26 about to start in Glasgow, momentum has been building here in Singapore on how we can galvanise the community to contribute to international climate action. We all recognise the need to act swiftly on climate change both in our work and in our personal capacity. By providing Singapore’s directors access to the latest science on climate change, and tangible actions needed to address climate challenges at the board level, I hope Climate Governance Singapore will further embolden companies to make climate change a priority agenda in boardrooms.
Together with my fellow advisory board members, we look forward to working with Singapore Management University, Singapore Institute of Directors and the rest of the ecosystem to help directors to lead their companies in mitigating and adapting to climate change.
