Singapore and Lao PDR ink MOU on carbon credits

The parties will exchange best practices and knowledge of carbon markets.

Singapore and Lao PDR signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on carbon credits aligned with Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.

The agreement is part of a series of bilateral discussions between the two countries during Lao PDR Prime Minister Sonexay Siphandone’s official visit to Singapore. 

Under the MOU, both countries will work towards a legally binding bilateral framework for the international transfer of correspondingly adjusted carbon credits, exchange of best practices, and knowledge of carbon market mechanisms. 

“Carbon credit projects can help channel financing towards additional mitigation efforts while generating benefits for local communities, such as new jobs, improved energy security, and reduced environmental pollution. Our cooperation highlights both countries’ commitment to supporting each other’s net-zero ambitions and supports the acceleration of global climate action,” Grace Fu, minister for Sustainability and the Environment, said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
