Recommendations for the Article 6.4 of the Paris Agreement

The briefing argues that the new international market regime under Article 6.4 of the Paris Agreement must move away from the concept of offsetting and instead utilize results-based climate finance. It emphasizes that the Sustainable Development Mechanism (SDM) should learn from the failures of the Kyoto Protocol's Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and Joint Implementation (JI) to ensure environmental integrity, sustainable development, and the protection of human rights.

• The development of Article 6.4 must incorporate lessons from the Kyoto Protocol's Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and Joint Implementation (JI) to safeguard human rights, sustainable development, and environmental integrity.
• The Paris Agreement requires a shift from the concept of offsetting toward a framework for the Sustainable Development Mechanism (SDM) that incentivises mitigation through results-based climate finance.
