The new Article 6: We know what we need

Carbon Market Watch calls for the operationalization of rules for Article 6 that prioritize the avoidance of double counting, a clear end date for the transition from Kyoto Protocol mechanisms, and the implementation of robust human rights and social safeguards to prevent the adverse impacts seen under the Clean Development Mechanism.

• The author identifies three critical priorities for the operationalization of Article 6: the prevention of double counting through corresponding adjustments for all international transfers, a clear transition from Kyoto Protocol Mechanisms to Article 6, and the establishment of human rights and social safeguards.
• There is a lack of a strict timeline in the co-chairs' drafted documents regarding the transition from Kyoto Protocol mechanisms to Article 6, which the author argues signals a lack of urgency in applying lessons from the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM).
• The author asserts that environmental and social safeguards, including grievance redress mechanisms, mandatory stakeholder consultations, and protections against harm to indigenous peoples and local communities, have been neglected in the 2018 priorities.
• The document argues that Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) from the CDM should not be used after 2020 as they cannot assist in meeting Paris reduction targets.
