Students for a
Fossil Free Future

We are an inter-university, student-led campaign that urges Singaporean universities to transition away from their current partnerships with the fossil fuel industry, and work towards a more just and livable future for all.

Impact Report 2024

Since 2017, Students for a Fossil Free (S4F) movement has changed in shape and form significantly. We started off as individual chapters across universities in Singapore, and joined forced to form a nationwide movement and campaign in 2022. S4F has since built on that momentum to build a sustainable community of concerned students.

At each step of our path, it has always been important to pause and reflect on our work, to critically work towards our goal of working towards a more just and livable future for all. Read the full document below or download here: Impact Report 2024

Get to know about our Long Term Strategy 2025

The Long Term Strategy 2025 document serves to provide an overview and rationale of the direction and plans for the structure and organisation of S4F. These new directions and plans have been taken based on meetings, discussions, and feedback from past and present members of S4F and its chapters.

As future-minded institutions, our universities play an important role in the climate crisis.

As institutions that are home to the wise and promising talents of both present and future generations, we believe that our universities and their governing bodies have the moral courage to reconsider partnerships with the key perpetrators of the climate crisis and trailblaze a more sustainable future.

To the leaders and decision-makers of our universities, this is your opportunity to create a great, positive change in the lives of many, both in the present and the future. We are depending on you.

Who are we?

Students for a Fossil Free Future (S4F) was formed to hold our universities accountable for their contribution to the climate crisis.

We are an inter-university, student-led campaign that urges Singaporean universities to transition away from their current partnerships with the fossil fuel industry, and work towards a more just and liveable future for all. We are inspired by the global Fossil Free movement to end the age of fossil fuels and build a world of community-led renewable energy for all.

Our team consists of students from four local universities: NUS/Yale-NUS, NTU, SMU, and SUTD. Since 2017, student groups in Yale-NUS, NUS, and NTU have been engaging our respective schools about fossil fuel divestment. Fossil Free Yale-NUS (FFYNC) has been engaging the Yale-NUS administration since 2017. Both FFYNC and Students Taking Action for NUS to Divest (STAND) have been engaging the NUS administration since 2019. NTU Divest has been doing the same in NTU since early 2020. Given the rate of progress, however, we believe that greater awareness on the part of all stakeholders is necessary to incentivise university leaders to make this urgent transition.
