The Nature Conservancy (TNC), a global environmental non-profit, has announced the expansion of its carbon project development capabilities in Singapore.
This initiative, revealed at the GenZero Climate Summit 2025, is supported by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) through its Carbon Project Development Grant. TNC aims to leverage Singapore’s status as a regional carbon services hub by establishing a dedicated team focused on community engagement, applied science, and financial planning.
TNC’s expansion will involve assessing nature-based carbon projects aligned with Singapore’s International Carbon Credit Framework. The focus will be on countries with which Singapore has signed Article 6 agreements under the Paris Agreement. The team will conduct feasibility studies, project design, carbon accounting, and local stakeholder engagement to ensure high-quality project development.
Tamara Singh, Managing Director of TNC Singapore, highlighted the organisation’s legacy of collaboration in the region. “This grant builds on that foundation, enabling us to apply our decades of science-based expertise to develop high-quality, nature-based carbon projects,” she stated. Lim Wey-Len, Executive Vice President of Green Economy at EDB, emphasised Singapore’s growing role as a carbon hub, noting TNC’s valuable expertise in nature-based solutions.
TNC is renowned for its global experience in developing high-quality carbon projects, having advanced over 60 projects in 18 countries. In Singapore, TNC is a founding member of the Southeast Asia Climate and Nature-based Solution Coalition, working to scale high-quality solutions across the region. This expansion signifies a significant step in supporting Singapore’s and the region’s climate goals.
