Introduction
Climate change poses significant challenges to the environment and society, demanding substantial and urgent action from all stakeholders. A key policy response emerging globally is the utilisation of carbon markets as a tool to price greenhouse gas emissions and direct mitigation efforts in concrete ways.
Recognising the important role that carbon markets play in the journey to Net Zero, and as part of the Singapore Green Plan 2030, Singapore aims to become a leading carbon services and trading hub in Asia.
To achieve this vision, there is a growing demand for talented professionals in Singapore and across the region to support the development of this critical ecosystem.
The Executive Certificate in Carbon Markets is designed to help meet this need by equipping business leaders and professionals with a solid foundation in carbon markets (compliance, sectoral and voluntary), carbon measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) and key elements of the carbon project lifecycle.
Offered in three modules, the intensive nine-day programme will allow you to explore climate action essentials, delve into the details of carbon markets mechanics, and gain practical insights into the corporate toolkit of greenhouse gas measurement,
target setting, and mitigation action. The programme will equip you with the knowledge and skills to navigate the evolving landscape of carbon markets and drive meaningful environmental impact.
