Use of Article 6 Under NDC

Intention to Use Article 6 Under Current NDC

"While the UK intends to meet its NDC target through reducing emissions domestically, it reserves the right to use voluntary cooperation under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. Such use could occur through the linking of the UK emissions trading scheme to another emissions trading system or through the use of emissions reductions or removals units.'

'If the UK were to use voluntary cooperation under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, such use would be accounted for in accordance with relevant decisions adopted by the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Paris Agreement (the “CMA”)'"

Intention to Use Article 6 Under NDC 3.0

The UK does not currently intend to use cooperative approaches that involve the use of internationally transferred mitigation outcomes (ITMOs) under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement towards its NDC. While the UK intends to meet its NDC through domestic emissions reductions and removals, it reserves the right to use cooperative approaches under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. Such cooperative approaches may include international emissions reductions or removals, such as Article 6.4 Emissions Reductions or those which result from linking the UK Emissions Trading System to another emissions trading scheme. If the UK were to use cooperative approaches, such use would be accounted for in accordance with relevant decisions adopted by the CMA.
