The conclusions on Article 6.4 from Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA 56) invited observer organisations to make submissions on “any of the elements referred to in decision 3/CMA.3, paragraph 7, for consideration by the SBSTA.” Carbon Market Watch welcomed the opportunity to share our views on Article 6.4 with negotiators. This document contains the feedback we submitted. It focuses on:

• Processes for use of CERs towards first or first updated NDCs
• Operation of the mechanism registry
• Processes necessary to deliver overall mitigation in global emissions (OMGE)
• Consideration of whether 6.4 activities could include emission avoidance
