Ghana's government has collaborated with Indore-based start-up Better Planet Footprints to produce and distribute one million low-emission cooking stoves. These stoves, utilizing advanced technology, emit less carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, aligning with the Paris Agreement's goals. The project aims to reduce 12.5 to 15 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions over its duration.
Singapore’s carbon tax, Southeast Asia’s first, is a cornerstone of its climate strategy. Initially set at S$5/tCO2e (2019–2023), it rose to S$25 in 2024 and will reach S$50–80 by 2030. Covering 80% of emissions, this tax incentivizes low-carbon innovation while using revenues to support green transitions. Companies can also offset emissions through international carbon credits.
Singapore's carbon tax, introduced in 2019, is part of a global movement toward carbon pricing. As of 2024, 37 carbon tax programs have been implemented worldwide, including in countries like Canada, South Africa, and the European Union. These initiatives aim to incentivize emission reductions and support the transition to a low-carbon economy. For instance, British Columbia has had a carbon tax since 2008.
