COP29 | UN CLIMATE CHANGE CONFERENCE 2024 Article 6 Background

The document explains that Article 6 of the Paris Agreement governs voluntary cooperation to meet national climate goals through market and non-market approaches. It notes that consensus on market-based rules remains elusive following limited progress at COP28 and SB60. For COP29, the focus is on improving the quality of carbon credits, refining authorization and revocation rules for Article 6.2 bilateral agreements, and determining the functionality of an international registry for carbon credits.

• Article 6 of the Paris Agreement establishes frameworks for countries to cooperate on meeting their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) via market-based approaches (Articles 6.2 and 6.4) and non-market approaches (Article 6.8), though consensus on market mechanisms has not yet been reached.
• Negotiations at COP28 and SB60 failed to reach consensus on carbon market rules due to fundamental disagreements on the future function of Article 6 and disputes over intersessional meetings.
• Priority areas for COP29 include establishing higher standards for carbon credits to address quality scandals, updating authorization and revocation rules for Article 6.2 bilateral agreements, and defining the operation of an international registry of carbon credits.
