Civic Exchange is pleased to offer its response to the Government budgetary planning for the 2021-22 Financial Year. Despite this challenging COVID-19 period of lower growth and the prospect of financial deficit in coming years, we take particular note of the Government’s efforts in the 2021-22 Budget to make progress towards its target to reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, and to build a more sustainable, liveable, green city. We specifically address key points and action items in the 2021-22 Budget and our recommendations for amplifying impacts on commitments made especially in terms of Energy, Buildings, Mobility, Waste and supporting a Low-Carbon Lifestyle.
