Singapore Environment Institute

Since signing the Kyoto protocol in 2006, Singapore has taken great strides both to deal with the global climate change concerns and to seize emerging business opportunities in the clean energy and sustainable development industry. Recently, a new inter-ministry committee on sustainable development has been set up by PM in Jan 08 to take a comprehensive approach to keeping Singapore’s economy growing in an environmentally sound way. This seminar will provide an update on incentives for Singapore companies and businesses in the Climate Change and Sustainable Development sectors as well as present key findings of the inaugural Clean Energy and Sustainable Industry Survey that will help identify issues and challenges faced by companies and businesses as well as the market potential for the industry. It will also highlight new developments in Singapore’s carbon trading market well as business opportunities in the low-carbon economy.
