background

In 1998, an Inter-agency Committee on Energy Efficiency (IACEE) was formed to address the concerns over the increasing energy consumption of Singapore and to recommend policy measures to improve energy efficiency in Singapore. Its findings and recommendations are presented in a report on Energy Efficiency in Singapore. The recommendations were approved by Cabinet, and government agencies were tasked to follow up on the recommendations.

On 1 Apr 01, the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources (MEWR) re-structured the IACEE, expanded its scope and renamed it the National Energy Efficiency Committee (NEEC).

With the announcement of Singapore’s plan to accede to the Kyoto Protocol in 2006, the NEEC has been expanded in scope to cover climate change issues and has been renamed the National Climate Change Committee (NCCC) to better reflect its expanded function. The terms of reference and composition of the NCCC are as follows:


terms of reference

The Terms of Reference of the NCCC are as follows:
To address climate change by:

c)
Building competency in Singapore to better respond to climate change such as through promoting research and development of low-carbon technologies;
