Singapore is racing to meet its net-zero emissions target by 2050. A growing carbon services and trading sector is supporting this national objective and contributing to wider efforts across the region to accelerate the low-carbon transition. Carbon services and trading may have once been niche but it is now fast becoming one of the most important sectors in the sustainability economy. It covers a broad range of services – from low-carbon advisory and carbon accounting to project development and the trading of carbon credits. These services help companies and governments measure and manage their carbon footprint. Envisioned as a key driver of green growth, Singapore’s carbon services and trading sector is now home to more than 150 firms – double the number from 2021. A study by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) and Enterprise Singapore projects that the sector could contribute up to US$5.6 billion (S$7.6 billion) in gross value-add, depending on global climate efforts.  https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/environment/why-singaporeans-are-joining-carbon-services-and-trading-sector-economic-development-board (ICE SINGAPORE)
