Creating Climate Wealth Singapore


This week I was pleased to be a part of the Carbon War Room’s first ever Creating Climate Wealth summit to be held in Asia. CCW Singapore, at the stunning Marina Bay Sands Expo, is a core example of the valuable work that the Carbon War Room does.

After identifying sectors that could be enjoying gigaton scale reductions in their annual carbon emissions - but aren’t because the markets to enable those reductions are currently failing - a working track is launched. Then, at the Creating Climate Wealth summits, CWR bring together executives, investors, academics, entrepreneurs, and public sector representatives. The working track then leads the discussion into what needs to be done to unlock those gigaton scale solutions, and how we can do it. Those strategies will then be pursued so we can achieve substantial low-carbon growth in these areas.
