Seeking to catalyse investment in credible climate solutions, strengthen market confidence and enable broader corporate participation in global carbon markets, the Action for a Resilient Climate (ARC) Coalition, was launched on May 19 at the GenZero Climate Summit 2026, which is held during Ecosperity Week.

Supported by Bain & Company, Carbon Growth Partners, CATL, Climate Bridge International, Climate Impact X, Enterprise Singapore, GenZero, Mitsubishi Corporation, Osaka Gas, Rubicon Carbon, Tencent, Vale and World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Singapore, the ARC Coalition is an industry-led, multi-sector initiative that seeks to aggregate corporate demand for high-integrity carbon credits and channel financing towards the projects that generate them.

GenZero CEO Frederick Teo says that credible carbon credits can also be a part of corporate decarbonisation strategies, especially to address residual emissions that are very hard to abate. “Carbon markets can direct capital to underlying activities that would not already be commercially viable,” he shares. “A lack of demand commitment for carbon credits generated from high-quality decarbonisation projects is holding back investments into these carbon projects.”
