Follow the Action!
Global temperatures are reaching dangerously new highs year after year, with the first half of 2024 witnessing unprecedented heat and the hottest months ever recorded. Achieving our climate targets - set under the Paris Agreement in 2015 - has never been more urgent, as societies and ecosystems face escalating threats from rising heat, extreme weather events and ecological deterioration.
As the rapid rise of greenhouse gas emissions pushes us closer to critical tipping points, the economic costs of inaction are also mounting. We need to take collective action to reach our target of reducing emissions by 43 percent by 2030 and achieving net zero by 2050. This requires coordinated efforts across society - we need enabling regulatory environments, strategic investments and large-scale deployment of innovative technologies.
The Liveability Challenge (TLC) returns for the eighth edition in 2025, seeking groundbreaking climate solutions from across the world that push the boundaries of innovation.
More than S$2 million in funding will be awarded, with two grand winners receiving a S$1 million grant each (across any themes) at the TLC Grand Finale during Ecosperity Week in May 2025.
