High-quality carbon credits can support investments in emerging climate technologies and nature-based solutions, and complement the decarbonisation strategies of companies to achieve their climate goals. Singapore is seeing increasing interest from companies in carbon credits to meet their global sustainability goals. Access to carbon credits will be especially important for companies in hard-to-abate sectors where low-carbon technologies need time to be commercially available.
The Singapore Carbon Market Alliance (SCMA) is the first platform in Singapore focused on high-integrity carbon credits that are aligned with Article 6 of the Paris Agreement – and the latest initiative to increase Singapore’s leadership as a regional node for carbon services and trusted carbon markets.
A joint initiative by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) and IETA (formerly the International Emissions Trading Association), the SCMA directly connects leading international suppliers and enablers of carbon markets to Singapore-based corporates with a demonstrated commitment to sustainability and interest in high-quality carbon credits.

Mission
To provide a platform for service providers, prospective sellers and buyers of Article 6 credits and government agencies in Singapore, to connect, share and collaborate on carbon credits.
