What does recent agreement around #Article6 of the Paris Agreement mean for carbon markets and public policy around them moving forward? Pollination CEO Martijn Wilder AM and Executive Director Lauren Drake shared their expertise on this topic at an Asian Development Bank (ADB) workshop on policy architecture for high integrity carbon markets. This Singapore event explored how leaders can shape national strategies and policy, legal and regulatory frameworks under the agreement, as voluntary carbon schemes continue to develop and national level compliance schemes rapidly emerge. Across Asia, eight national carbon pricing initiatives have been implemented or are set to be. Japan and Singapore both employ carbon taxes, while Australia, the People’s Republic of China, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, the Republic of Korea, and New Zealand have all implemented national emissions trading systems.

🍁 As we welcome the final month of #autumn, let’s look back on an eventful #October in green finance through our latest #Newsletter! In China, October saw groundbreaking initiatives: the People’s Bank of China launched the “Securities, Fund, and Insurance Company Swap Facility” to support capital markets. Key regulatory bodies issued a joint statement to accelerate green finance for a “Beautiful China,” and Qinghai introduced a Carbon-Electricity Account Management Standard to further low-carbon development in the region. Meanwhile, Hong Kong released its “Sustainable Finance Action Plan,” setting ambitious goals for net-zero emissions and inclusive finance. 💼 October’s events, including the Financial Street Forum, the International Forum on Green Finance and Low-Carbon Building, and the Tianjin Five Avenues Financial Forum, fostered valuable exchanges and showcased innovative paths forward. 🌎 On the global stage, new partnerships emerged: UNDP joined forces with Mizuho to promote sustainable finance across Asia, IFC partnered with Axis Bank to foster blue finance initiatives in India, and EBRD strengthened green financing opportunities in Turkey. As always, we’re pleased to share two insightful #articles: ✅ “The Development and Emission Reduction Path of Indonesia’s Nickel Industrial Parks” by Zhou Zhengyuan and Prof. Shen Wei. ✅ “Linchpin of Progress” by Prof. Wang Yao and Dr. Shi Lin, which explores how gender-responsive investments can empower African women, enhancing climate resilience and driving economic growth. 📩 For the full insights, check out our newsletter and subscribe for monthly updates: https://lnkd.in/g-m7A4c4 #GreenFinance #SustainableDevelopment #NetZero #ClimateAction #FinancialInnovation

On 21 Nov 2024, the Ministry of Trade and Industry (Singapore) announced that Singapore had substantially concluded negotiations on the carbon credit cooperation with Peru. The next step entails formalising the agreement with a signing, known as the implementation agreement. Singapore is collaborating with more than 20 countries on carbon markets, but most of them are still at the initial memorandum of understanding (MOU) stage. #CarbonCredit #CarbonMarket
