Singapore commits US$500m to boost Asia’s green and transition projects

The government will also examine strategies for advancing carbon markets.

Singapore has pledged up to US$500m to support green and transition initiatives in Asia.

The concessional funding will be leveraged to draw in commercial capital and other financial sources to aid Asia’s green transition.

"As a financial hub, Singapore is doubling our efforts to mobilise financing to support the global climate action," said Grace Fu, minister for Sustainability and the Environment and minister-in-charge of Trade Relations, at the COP29 Singapore Pavilion launch.

In addition to the funding, Fu said Singapore has scheduled in-depth discussions with industry experts to examine strategies for advancing carbon markets and implementing Article 6.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
