Use of Article 6 Under NDC

Intention to Use Article 6 Under Current NDC

“Ghana intends to use vol­un­tary cooper­a­tion under Art­icle 6.2 of the Par­is Agree­ment to achieve up to 55% (which is about 24 mil­lion tonnes of emis­sion reduc­tions) of its con­di­tion­al abso­lute emis­sion reduc­tions. Account­ing and report­ing for emis­sions reduc­tions eman­at­ing from the vol­un­tary cooper­a­tion under Art­icle 6 of the Par­is Agree­ment would be con­sist­ent with the guid­ance adop­ted by CMA1 and any fur­ther guid­ance agreed by the CMA’”
