The Paris Agreement’s Article 6 opens a new era for international carbon markets, establishing multiple avenues for cooperation, including the Sustainable Development Mechanism (SDM). Carbon markets will need to function in a radically changed world, where all Parties have commitments towards a common 1.5 degree target and longer term de-carbonization goal.
At this event, experts reflected on crucial elements to ensure robust governance and social and environmental integrity of the new mechanisms. At the occasion of the event, a new policy briefing “Building blocks for a robust Sustainable Development Mechanism” will be launched.
