Yale Blue Green launched its Singapore Chapter in 2026 as the organization’s first presence in Asia. Based in a global hub for sustainable innovation, we serve Yale alumni across Southeast Asia who are passionate about climate, environment, and circular economy.
Our chapter organizes quarterly events. Programming includes speaker series with alumni leaders, volunteer opportunities, networking gatherings, and constructive dialogue on Southeast Asia’s distinctive challenges and most promising solutions—from marine conservation and ASEAN climate policy to circular manufacturing and business models.
We welcome alumni at all career stages and fields, whether you work directly in sustainability or are simply passionate about environmental action. We’d love to hear your ideas for events, speakers, or partnerships, and invite you to join our planning team.
Please email the co-chairs to express your interest, share suggestions, and receive notifications about upcoming events.
