Speaking at the Tri-Sector Forum organised by SMU’s Master of Tri-Sector Collaboration (MTSC) and School of Social Sciences, Singapore’s chief negotiator for climate change Kwok Fook Seng said companies today are requesting for carbon to be priced “predictably. He noted that the companies wanted carbon pricing because they could “perhaps use carbon trading to offset their global footprint, so that they could be carbon neutral in their global operations”. Mr Kwok was one of the distinguished tri-sector speakers featured at the Tri-Sector Forum, which brings together leaders from the government, businesses and civil society organisations to discuss the crucial role of cross-sector collaboration in addressing Asia’s complex challenges. This year’s forum focuses on two themes – “Greening the Financial System” and “Food Security in Asia”. The Forum will look at the state of developments and partnerships in these areas, and focus on collaboration as a core engine of change.
