12 Nov
15:00 – 16:15: “Article 6 in Focus: How Do We Move Forward?”

The breakdown of negotiations at COP28 over Article 6 guidance left many eager to see progress. While COP28 yielded no definitive outcome, progress on bilateral agreements signalled continued optimism. This year, can COP29 reverse the tide? Where did COP28 leave us, and has there been progress on Article 6 since then? How can Article 6 co-exist with or even strengthen, the voluntary carbon market?

Location: Singapore Pavilion, Blue Zone

The path to harmonised carbon market regulations may be long, but robust oversight remains essential for the continued enhancement and effectiveness of the voluntary carbon market. However, what constitutes good regulatory oversight? How should leaders and regulators strike a balance between too much regulation to stifle growth and too little to incentivise action?

Location: Singapore Pavilion, Blue Zone

13 Nov
13:00 – 14:15: “Carbon Market Dynamics: Navigating Risks and Opportunities Through Ratings and Insurance”

Carbon credit ratings and insurance can help assess credit quality and ensure delivery of high-quality credits.

“Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a necessity, not an option, for reaching net-zero emissions”

Climate Change Committee, UK

“Without CCUS "our energy and climate goals will become virtually impossible to reach"”

Fatih Birol, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency

“We have to reduce emissions urgently and take action to tackle the carbon already in the atmosphere. Putting a value on carbon thus making carbon capture solutions more economical is therefore absolutely critical.”
