Building the Philippine carbon market, and the Role of the Philippine-Singapore Implementation Agreement on Carbon Credits
As the global momentum for climate action accelerates, the Philippines is taking steps to develop a credible, high integrity carbon market aligned with international standards. At the same time, Singapore and the Philippines are deepening cooperation on climate and environmental issues, particularly through the ongoing negotiation of a bilateral Implementation Agreement on Carbon Credits under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.
This panel will discuss the evolving carbon credit ecosystems in both countries and the mutual benefits of enhanced collaboration. It will provide insights into the development of enabling legislative and regulatory frameworks in the Philippines and examine how the country is working with international partners like Singapore.

This panel will examine the economic opportunities presented by the Singapore-Philippines Implementation Agreement, with a focus on how businesses can position themselves for future growth. Speakers will share insights from existing partnerships and highlight investment prospects.
