Why These Guides
Carbon projects under Article 6 are poised to rapidly increase. There are over 110 bilateral agreements between countries for Article 6.2 and over 2,000 proposed projects awaiting approval under Article 6.4. But the transparency and pathways for accountability are not keeping pace in a manner that ensures integrity amid the rapid expansion. If you live in a country where a carbon project is taking place, it can be hard to find information about the project, who is involved, and what to expect. Even when information is available publicly, it is often organised in a manner to serve industry stakeholders with complex jargon.
We created this series of guides to help civil society organisations and the public respond to the expansion of Article 6 projects. We hope to make it easier to find information, analyse it, and consider how to foster accountability. This series was created by asking journalists and civil society actors from countries selling carbon credits, the questions they have about Article 6 and the data they find most difficult to parse. We then combed through the first round of Article 6 reports and project documents to understand what information is most often available in which reports. Bolstered by practical examples, we created pathways from the frontline questions to the information disclosed.
Guide 1
How to find information on carbon projects in my country. If you are new to carbon projects and are trying to understand what is happening in your country or your community, this is where to start. You will learn about the key terms and processes for carbon projects, how to locate information about the big picture in your country, and how to look for a specific carbon project that might be near you.
Guide 2
How can I use data from Article 6.2 to better understand what’s happening in my country? If your country is engaged in transfers under Article 6.2, this guide will help you find out more about what is happening. You will learn how to understand the different types of reporting under 6.2, where to find key project information, and what paths to accountability might exist.
Guide 3
How can I use data from Article 6.4 to better understand what’s happening in my country? If there are carbon projects in your country that are being registered under Article 6.4’s Paris Agreement Crediting Mechanism, this guide will help you know where to look for more information about the projects in your country. The guide will describe the PACM processes and the different types of documents available during the processes.
