Philippines and Singapore are teaming up on carbon credits. It is a basic implementation agreement for now. Worth following to see if they actually define the credit types or just keep it at a high level.

The real test here is the accounting. If they do not align on how to avoid double counting between national registries, the credits will be worthless on the international market.

Agreement is fine, but where are the projects? I want to see the specific renewable energy or storage installations this is supposed to fund. Without a project pipeline, it is just a piece of paper.

True. The announcement is vague on the actual volume of credits or the specific sectors involved. We need to see the implementation roadmap to know if this moves the needle.
