Submission deadline extended until 18th February
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.
As Asia's largest sustainability solutions platform, 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.
The eighth edition of The Liveability Challenge features two main themes:
We are looking for disruptive deep-tech solutions that provide scalable and impactful solutions to reduce carbon emissions across diverse industries.
Examples of such solutions include, but not limited to: waste-to-resource, renewable energy, and energy efficiency.
The top two solutions from either challenge themes will receive S$1 Million in grant funding.
We are seeking groundbreaking innovations that specifically address the challenges posed by climate-induced extreme weather conditions.
Examples of such solutions include, but not limited to: heat mitigation, nature-based solutions.
The top two solutions from either challenge themes will receive S$1 Million in grant funding.
Enter your innovation to The Liveability Challenge.
You can submit your submissions as a draft and make updates before final submission.
