Background

The Paris Agreement established a framework for global action on climate change by encouraging countries to set ambitious national targets, known as Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). While NDCs are crucial for achieving the Paris Agreement goals, countries may need international cooperation to fully implement them. Article 6 of the Paris Agreement provides mechanisms for this cooperation, facilitating market and non-market approaches for countries to achieve their NDCs.

• This webinar aims to unpack the relationship between Article 6 and NDCs.
• Participants will gain a clear understanding of NDCs, the different mechanisms under Article 6, and how these mechanisms can be used by countries to support their NDC implementation.

Key topics

• Exploring how Article 6 can unlock financial resources for NDC implementation
• Case studies: Successful examples of Article 6 supporting ambitious NDCs
