Temasek's near-term carbon emissions set to rise amid aviation, energy hurdles

Temasek Holdings, Singapore's state-owned investment firm, announced that its portfolio's carbon emissions are expected to rise in the short term due to various challenges. Despite achieving a 30% reduction in emissions since 2019, the company now faces difficulties in meeting its 2030 target of cutting emissions to 11 million tonnes of CO₂e. The firm attributes this to geopolitical tensions, shifting policies, tighter financial conditions, and rapid technological changes. While the 2030 target remains unchanged as a directional marker, Temasek is reassessing its climate strategy and adjusting its risk assessment models to reflect a more fragmented global scenario. The company emphasizes a 'pragmatic ambition' approach, focusing on implementing sustainable practices and investing in impactful technologies.
