As the world becomes increasingly concerned with the environmental impact of our actions, students want to know how and where they can fit in. Youth for Eco-Sustainability (YES) programme is initiated by SGBC and is held alongside with its International Green Building Conference (IGBC),aims to serve both youth and the communities in which they live by raising social awareness of green issues that
concern young people, and educating them to make responsible choices to prepare them for a sustainable future. In line with this year's IGBC theme, "Green Community, Green Action", the Singapore Green Building Council (SGBC) is organizing a special YES programme. Singapore Green Building Council was set up in 2009 to propel Singapore's building and construction industry towards environmental sustainability. It promotes green building design, practices and technologies, integrate green initiatives into mainstream design, construction and operation of buildings as well as enhance capacity and professionalism to support the wider adoption of green building development and practices in Singapore.
