New report makes business case for natural climate solutions

Singapore

SOUTH-EAST Asia has the highest density of carbon prospecting for natural climate solutions (NCS) investments in the world and protection of these ecosystems could generate a return-on-investment of up to US$27.5 billion per year according to a new report by Conservation International, DBS Bank, National University of Singapore, and Temasek.

Indeed, significant progress has been made to implement and incentivise NCS in the region with several countries developing relevant regulations, thus presenting major opportunities for encouraging the inclusion of NCS, which are climate mitigation technologies that harness natural processes to reduce or remove greenhouse gas.
