Singapore, World Bank launch joint programme to scale carbon trading

The initiative will help countries develop interoperable digital carbon registries.

The Singapore Government and the World Bank Group launched the Singapore Carbon Markets Programme to help countries build infrastructure and expand participation in carbon trading schemes.

The initiative will develop toolkits to help countries build interoperable carbon registries aligned with international standards.

In addition, it will build digital systems for monitoring, reporting, and verification of carbon abatement projects, including regenerative agriculture initiatives.

The programme will also pilot mechanisms to aggregate carbon credit demand and supply at both buyer and country levels to reduce transaction costs and lower project risks in underserved markets.

It will support the development of national carbon market strategies, policies, and institutions through cross-country collaboration and knowledge sharing.

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.
