Project participants who expressed their intent to transition shall submit their transition request using the on-line interface no later than 31 December 2025.

Please note that creating a user account is a necessary first step in order to access the transition portal/interface.

Background

CMA, at its sixth session, decided that afforestation and reforestation project activities and PoAs registered under the CDM may transition to the Article 6.4 mechanism provided they meet specified requirements. The SBM, at its fifteenth meeting adopted a revision of the “Procedure: Transition of CDM activities to the Article 6.4 mechanism” operationalizing the transition process for eligible CDM A/R project activities and CDM A/R programmes of activities and CPAs therein to the Article 6.4 mechanism.

Submission Deadline: 31 December 2025

Project participants interested in expressing their intent to transition shall submit their transition request no later than 31 December 2025. Meeting this deadline is crucial, as failure to do so will result in exclusion from transition.
