Introduction

As part of the SB 62 sessions in Bonn, this event will convene all Stakeholders, including Designated National Authorities (DNAs) and UNFCCC National Focal Points (NFPs) to advance national readiness for effective participation in the Article 6.4 Mechanism under the Paris Agreement (PACM). Following key milestones achieved in 2024 and early 2025, including Article 6 being fully operational and the Article 6.4 DNA Forum being launched, this event serves as a connector between the Conferences of the Parties, the UNFCCC Climate Weeks, COPs and (Sub-)Regional Capacity Building events by providing cutting-edge insights from the UNFCCC substantive teams as well as inspiring dialogue and networking amongst stakeholders and peers.

The event comes at a critical juncture, as Parties prepare to finalize their institutional arrangements to engage with and benefit from the advantages of the PACM, including preparing for transition of eligible CDM activities by the December 2025 deadline. It aims to facilitate knowledge exchange, deliver practical and relevant information in a user-friendly, demystified manner, and address complexities and challenges. 

Specific Objectives

1. Provide a platform for direct exchanges between stakeholders and peers and with the substantive UNFCCC Teams on Article 6.4.
2. Highlight opportunities, essential timelines, and important benefits related to Article 6.4.
3. Provide relevant updates on the Article 6.4 Mechanism and the work of the Supervisory Body, including the outcomes of the Article 6 related events organized during the first Climate Week.
4. Address common technical or procedural questions and challenges directly through the relevant UNFCCC substantive units.
