Former SGX senior managing director Chew Sutat will lead WWF-Singapore starting June 1. The organization has been without a chief executive since January following the departure of Vivek Kumar. Chew aims to strengthen conservation efforts and expand partnerships to drive climate and nature outcomes across Singapore and the broader region.

Bringing in a former SGX lead suggests a shift toward more structured financial partnerships. It will be interesting to see if he pushes for more standardized carbon accounting or specific market mechanisms to fund these conservation goals.
Agreed. The mention of deepening partnerships usually means more corporate funding. The real test is whether that translates to actual hectares protected or just a lot of high level pledges.
The article mentions a blue carbon accelerator programme in the sidebar. I want to see the actual capacity and verification methods for those projects. Blue carbon is high risk if the baseline data is shaky.
