Background

COP29 marked a pivotal moment in advancing the implementation of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. A fully operational Article 6 offers a powerful tool for countries to scale up mitigation efforts and achieve their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) while promoting sustainable development and environmental integrity.

After nearly a decade of negotiations, the conclusion of the Article 6 framework provides certainty for governments, the private sector, and stakeholders, enabling them to advance cooperative approaches.

The momentum created at COP29 underscores the importance of ongoing dialogue, capacity building, and stakeholder engagement to ensure the effective implementation of Article 6.

This webinar will explore the outcomes of COP29, their implications for carbon markets, and the opportunities they present for stakeholders in Latin America. With the region's growing interest in leveraging cooperative approaches under Article 6, the session will provide insights into operational challenges, key priorities for the Article 6.4 Supervisory Body, and strategies to scale up climate finance and mitigation efforts.
