Intention to Use Article 6 Under NDC 3.0
Palau is currently engaged in Article 6 activities under the Paris Agreement through voluntary cooperative approaches (Article 6.2). This engagement is facilitated by a bilateral agreement established in 2014 between Palau and Japan under the Japanese Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM). As of 2025 Palau has four registered JCM projects that address mitigation from rooftop solar systems.67 Palau reaffirms its commitment to the further implementation of Article 6.2 mechanisms and possible cooperation in the crediting mechanism (6.4) and non-market approaches (6.8). The country accounts for mitigation from the registered JCM projects in this NDC (e.g., avoiding double counting), but does need support to address initiatives to enhance national expertise in carbon market mechanisms and technology to improve monitoring, reporting, and verification processes along with international reporting
