About SCeNe Coalition

The Southeast Asia Climate and Nature-based Solutions (SCeNe) Coalition is a collaboration between leading non-governmental organizations with an established presence in Southeast Asia aimed at accelerating and increasing implementation of and investment in high-quality, high-integrity, triple-benefit NbS across the region.

Southeast Asia is facing unprecedented demand for carbon credits and hence, there is an unparalleled opportunity to access and direct climate finance to NbS projects that deliver not only climate outcomes, but outcomes for biodiversity and people as well.

Our aims

The coalition aims to:
