This year's Go Green SG campaign was launched at Naval Base Primary School by Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong, with Minister Grace Fu and Senior Parliamentary Secretary Goh Hanyan. The campaign ran from 11 May to 28 June.

The school's Wellness Garden has a solar-powered hydroponics system run by students, and the produce goes to community fridges. Partners include the Nee Soon South Zone H Residents' Network, Cloop, ALBA E-Waste and Lions Befrienders.

A Climate Adaptation Activity Book is also going out to about 2,000 preschools, reaching around 100,000 preschoolers.
