DUBAI - Singapore and Fiji have signed an agreement to collaborate on carbon markets, the Republic said on Dec 3.
"As members of the Alliance of Small Island States, Singapore and Fiji are both vulnerable to the effects of climate change," said Minister for Trade and Industry Gan Kim Yong, who signed the memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Fiji's Prime Minister and Minister for Climate Change Sitiveni Rabuka.
"The MOU is a step forward for both our countries to collaboratively accelerate climate action," he added.
A working group comprising Singapore and Fiji government officials will oversee the implementation of the agreement.
Fiji, like Singapore, is a low-lying nation that is vulnerable to sealevel rise and coastal flooding.
