Carbon Market Context
- The March 2026 launch of membership recruitment for Japan’s GX Future Consortium and GX Future League, together with the publication of outputs from a working group on green market creation through intermediate-emitting businesses, reflect the domestic carbon market agenda Japan carries into international climate talks.
- Singapore’s Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment announced in May 2026 that carbon tax-liable companies may roll over unused International Carbon Credit (ICC) offset quota from emissions year 2025 — an adjustment to compliance rules that illustrates the active pace of carbon policy change across the region.
