Carbon markets have evolved into a significant international market segment that has generated $104 billion in revenue in 2024 to fund climate and nature programs.
Indeed, it is a growing sector, especially when energy transition and the race to net zero is entering a new phase of maturity in which nations and corporations are being held to higher levels of integrity in both compliance and voluntary carbon offset claims, reporting and data.
Singapore’s Green Plan 2030 aims to make the country Asia’s carbon services and trading hub.
