Singapore and Vietnam announced

On the morning of September 16, the two ministers of Singapore and Vietnam signed a special agreement via a video link in just a few minutes.

Please click "Follow" in the upper right corner of the officials. It will not only facilitate your discussion and sharing, but also give you a different sense of participation. Thank you for your support!

In the form of signature, this kind of multinational cooperation is usually high-quality, the scene atmosphere is very good, red carpet, photo, press club a bunch of flashlights. but Singapore and Vietnam direct video connection, a few minutes, simply to a little surprise.

This actually reveals an information, efficiency. Modern international cooperation, efficiency is more important than form. Moreover, this simple and direct way, also reflects the importance of cooperation between the two sides, you do not need to engage in a lot of rituals, you can also accomplish the key goals.

To put it simply, there are emissions reduction outcomes on the Vietnamese side and stable carbon credit on the Singaporean side.In the past, these emissions reduction outcomes could only be circulated domestically, or scattered on the international market, and it was difficult to form a stable supply.

And now, through an agreement, Vietnam’s emission cuts can be directly converted into carbon credits sold to Singapore, and Singapore can ensure its own carbon credit needs are steadily met.

From an economic point of view, this is not just a little joke for “environmental enthusiasts”.Vietnam has long invested a lot in renewable energy, green industry, and after signing this agreement, these investments can immediately see actual benefits.

Singapore, a highly developed urban country with industrial and service industries, has high carbon emissions pressures, especially for the needs of multinationals and carbon trading.

Without a stable supply of carbon credits, they could face the risk of rising emission costs in the future.Now with Vietnam’s emission reduction results as a guarantee, Singapore can lock costs in advance, which is of huge commercial value.

From an environmental point of view, the agreement is also of little significance.Carbon credits are essentially quantitative reductions of emissions so that it can be traded and circulated.

Vietnam’s efforts to reduce emissions have been internationally recognized and have market value.Through the deal, Vietnam will be more motivated to make low-carbon investments and continue to promote clean energy projects.

Singapore, on the one hand, has gained carbon credit and on the other hand has also formed part of the regional carbon market, driving the entire Southeast Asian carbon market towards integration.

You may think that carbon credit is a business for and governments, but it also affects the people. Vietnam’s carbon reduction projects are mostly related to energy, transportation and industry, and funding and policies tend to these projects, meaning green jobs, low-carbon facility construction, and community environmental awareness will follow.

In Singapore, carbon credit trading puts pressure and motivation on companies to improve their energy structure, ultimately affecting the lives of ordinary people, such as air quality, energy prices, and corporate awareness of sustainable development.

What is also important about the agreement is the “regional demonstration effect.”In the past, carbon markets have been a game for developed countries, with Asian countries following relatively slowly.

This multinational partnership between Singapore and Vietnam has actually set a model for Southeast Asia, where carbon credits can be transacted across borders, emissions reductions can be achieved, environmental protection and the economy can be driven simultaneously.

By the way, compare the roles of Singapore and Vietnam.Singapore is the “buyer”, it lacks massive natural emission reduction resources, but capital and markets are very mature; Vietnam is the “seller”, natural resources and emission reduction potential are rich, but capital and market mechanisms are still in the growth phase.

You think, countries with a shortage of resources are willing to spend money to buy, countries with a wealth of resources have the ability to sell, and both sides have the momentum, this model of cooperation is much more efficient than unilaterally pushing for emissions reduction.

The entire signing process is less than ten minutes, there is no complicated negotiation demonstration, no long document interpretation, which indicates that the two sides have been sufficiently prepared behind the scenes.

Today we look at “a few minutes of signing”, but behind it may be months or even a year of policy coordination and project coupling.High efficiency, high transparency, which is crucial for driving regional carbon market integration.

Economically, Vietnam gains, Singapore controls costs, and both earn; environmentally, emissions reduction results are quantified and traded, the regional low-carbon development momentum is enhanced; socially, green projects are promoted, and the general population can also benefit; strategically, the regional carbon market has begun to form, and the demonstration effect is evident.

To put it bluntly, this is a typical win-win situation, and it is also something that Singapore and Vietnam have proved with their actions. International cooperation does not have to be vigorous, concise, efficient, mutually beneficial and complementary, and sometimes it is the most hard-core operation.

In the future, as the carbon market continues to develop, this model may be replicated to more countries. Carbon emission reduction and economic development are no longer antagonistic, but can go hand in hand.

So this signature is not just a news headline, it is much heavier than a few minutes of video connection. Singapore and Vietnam tell the world in the most direct way that environmental protection can be dealt with, cooperation can be reached quickly, and the economy and environment can be beneficial at the same time.


If you want to keep up with future trends, paying attention to this kind of regional carbon credit cooperation is more important than simply reading news headlines, because it is related to the green development of Southeast Asia and the future direction of the entire international carbon market. In short, this small video connection may be a big step for the regional carbon market.
