Singapore, Bhutan ink MOU for carbon credits partnership

They will sign an agreement for the international transfer of carbon credits.

Singapore and Bhutan signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for collaboration on carbon credits, reinforcing their commitment to support climate action.

In a statement, the Ministry of Trade and Industry said the MOU, signed between Singapore’s Minister Gan Kim Yong and Bhutan’s Minister for Energy and Natural Resources Loknath Sharma, strengthens the countries' cooperation on carbon credit in line with Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.

Under the agreement, Singapore and Bhutan will sign a legally-binding bilateral agreement that establishes a framework for the international transfer of adjusted carbon credit by end-2023.

“Effective partnership between countries is important in addressing the global climate challenge. This is the first MOU that Singapore is signing with a carbon-negative country,” Gan said.

“Through this MOU, Singapore and Bhutan intend to collaborate on carbon credits aligned to Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, which will enable us to accelerate decarbonisation, and generate mutual benefits including growing each other’s green economy,” he added.

Article 6 of the Paris Agreement enables countries to work together in achieving emissions targets under their nationally determined contribution.

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.
