Overview

As tackling climate change becomes a priority, the world must transit towards a low-carbon future. Governments and corporates will need to build knowledge internally and may have to tap onto carbon services firms to lower their carbon footprint. Singapore is keen to support global and regional climate goals by serving as a go-to location for climate-related services.

CNCS is developing training courses to upskill professionals across a spectrum of carbon management activities, including development of climate targets and strategies, measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) of carbon emissions, carbon offset project development and financing, and trading of carbon offsets. The first of such courses, titled “Navigating Policy Developments and Trends in Carbon Markets”, will introduce participants to environmental policy and how they can operate effectively in today’s carbon market.

 

Learning Objectives:

  • Recognise how international climate regimes influence regional and local carbon markets development
  • Deepen connections with relevant subject matter experts to stay updated on the latest trends
  • Explain the roles that different ecosystem players play in the voluntary and compliance carbon markets
  • Assess how key factors (e.g. quality, project type, country of origin) affect carbon pricing

Key topics will include: 

  • Paris Agreement Article 6
  • Carbon Pricing and Investors
  • Quality and Integrity of Carbon Credits
  • Co-benefits of Carbon Projects
  • Outlook of Carbon Markets
