From YTL-SV Carbon
The ACC 2023 is an excellent initiative to get all those involved under the same roof. From conferences like this, I believe we are going to see more movements and developments in carbon trading and market. Sarawak is indeed full of potentials for nature-based solutions and developments as the state is seen as blessed with biodiversity.
QIMIN ZHANG
From Act Commodities
This conference is very interesting, and it is great to see the local community, agencies and government coming together to discuss on the climate change strategy. I have attended similar carbon conference, but the ACC 2023 provides a different perspective.
LOUISA O’CONNELL
From BeZero Carbon
The sessions I have attended are very good and insightful. This conference is indeed a good way to meet and network with people as well as to learn about the carbon markets in Asia. I am looking forward to attending more similar conferences in the future.
