Background

The 29th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP29) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) concluded on 24 November 2024 in Baku, Azerbaijan, marking several landmark decisions to advance global climate action. With significant updates expected on the different processes under the Paris Agreement, including through Article 6, it is essential to translate these outcomes into actionable insights for regions like the Asia-Pacific, which faces unique vulnerabilities and opportunities in addressing climate change.

Given that no Article 6 decisions were reached at COP28 in Dubai, the negotiations on Article 6 at COP29 in Baku were highly anticipated, and countries agreed on new guidance on Article 6.2, 6.4, 6.8 and relating to the Clean Development Mechanism.

The webinar is presented by the UNFCCC secretariat and its UNFCCC Regional Collaboration Center for Asia and the Pacific (RCC AP), in partnership with the Article 6 Implementation Partnership (A6IP).
