National Sustainability Movement (NSM)
Building a Generation of Eco Stewards
The enduring theme for the National Sustainability Movement (NSM) is ‘Building a Generation of Eco Stewards’. With SG Green Plan 2030 being a whole-of-nation movement, NSM also seeks to galvanise a whole-of-school movement on sustainable living across schools in Singapore such that there is a broader mindset change and environmentally conscious habits holistically integrated within the school context and sustained for wider impact in the long run.
Objectives of NSM
To support schools in the design, implementation and review of sustainability initiatives that are in alignment with the Ministry of Education (MOE) Eco-Stewardship Programme (ESP) and the SG Green Plan 2030 (SGP 2030).
To provide learning opportunities for schools' green champions, educators and management team with a view to enable them to strengthen sustainability efforts through professional development and relevant programmes.
To educate and inspire students to be eco-stewards and take actions in promoting a culture of sustainability in the school and community.
