Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu kicked off the week by announcing the launch of an emissions registry to aid businesses in their sustainability reporting. This comes as listed companies and large non-listed companies will be required to issue climate-related disclosures in FY2025 and FY2027 respectively.
The speakers at the 10th edition of Ecosperity Week, Temasek’s annual sustainability-focused conference, included some of the most controversial names in the industry. Over three days, April 15 to 17, a mining giant guilty of destroying sacred land and carbon market players who were accused of fraudulent projects spoke alongside some of the biggest names in finance.
Last December’s COP28 called for countries to lay the groundwork for a swift, just and equitable transition through urgent emission cuts and scaled-up financing. Through panels, presentations and partner events, Ecosperity Week 2024 furthered the conversation on Southeast Asia’s renewable energy transition, blended finance and voluntary carbon markets.
