Singapore Institute of International Affairs

The SIIA is a non-profit, non-governmental organisation dedicated to the research, analysis and discussion of regional and international issues. Founded in 1962, it is Singapore’s oldest think tank. The SIIA has consistently ranked as one of the top think tanks in Southeast Asia and the Pacific in the Global Go To Think Tank Index by the University of Pennsylvania.

Under the Sustainability Program, the SIIA has organised many dialogues on the subject of transboundary haze since 1997, when large-scale fires in Kalimantan and Sumatra led to one of the worst haze episodes in Southeast Asia on record. The SIIA also hosts HazeTracker.org, an online repository of maps and articles on haze-related issues designed for a Singapore audience.

In 2017, the SIIA led the Collaborative Initiative for Green Finance in Singapore in partnership with the UN Environment Inquiry, with the support of the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the Association of Banks in Singapore (ABS). It aims to establish the baseline for the current level of understanding of Green Finance in Singapore, outlining the possibilities and opportunities and consolidating recommendations to develop a shared vision on how to move Green Finance forward.
