We are delighted to join the Singapore Carbon Market Alliance (SCMA) as a launch member!  The Alliance is the first platform in Singapore focused on high-integrity carbon credits aligned with Article 6 of the Paris Agreement and is convened by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) and IETA. We know that a transparent and robust carbon market is crucial in global efforts to combat climate change. Through the Alliance, we’ll be able to collaborate with industry leaders, policymakers, and stakeholders to enhance market integrity and advance innovation to bring cutting-edge carbon reduction solutions to market.  This membership complements our work under the Asia Centre of Carbon Excellence (ACCE), a new hub launched in collaboration with @GenZero that focuses on innovative and novel carbon project development, carbon policy, and capacity-building in the region. 👉 Read more about the Singapore Carbon Market Alliance here: https://lnkd.in/e-FRkz4Z #SingaporeCarbonMarketAlliance #CarbonMarket
