Singapore and Thailand ink carbon credit collaboration

A framework has been developed for the generation and transfer of carbon credits.

Singapore and Thailand have signed an implementation agreement on carbon credits collaboration, the city-state's first with an ASEAN country.

According to the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI), the agreement is under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. It was signed by Singapore’s Minister for Manpower and Minister-in-charge of Energy and Science & Technology Dr Tan See Leng, and Thailand’s Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, Chalermchai Sri-on.The Implementation Agreement establishes a framework for the generation and transfer of carbon credits from carbon mitigation projects. Project developers can leverage this to develop high-qual

ity carbon credit projects that are aligned with the Article 6 rulebook.

“The Implementation Agreement between Singapore and Thailand will advance both countries’ climate ambitions by directing financing towards unlocking additional mitigation potential in Thailand,” MTI said.

“The carbon mitigation projects authorised under this Implementation Agreement will promote sustainable development and deliver tangible benefits to local communities, such as the creation of jobs, improved waste management, enhanced energy efficiency, and reduction of environmental pollution,” it added.

Information on the process for authorisation of these carbon credits projects and eligible carbon crediting methodologies under the Implementation Agreement will be published in due course.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
