Publication of “Article 6 Implementation Status Report” by the Paris Agreement Article 6 Implementation Partnership Center

November 18, 2024

The Paris Agreement Article 6 Implementation Partnership (A6IP) Center is launching the “Paris Agreement Article 6 Implementation Status Report“.

The “Paris Agreement Article 6 Implementation Status Report”(A6 ISR) aims to capture a snapshot of the current status of implementation of the Paris Agreement Article 6, which allows for greenhouse gas emission reduction and other mitigation measures be implemented through international cooperation among countries. The report describes the implementation status and challenges of the Paris Agreement Article 6 across the globe.    

The A6IP Center will announce an overview of the report at an event in the Japan Pavilion at the Climate Change COP29, currently being held in Azerbaijan.

“Paris Agreement Article 6 Implementation Status Report”

To grasp the trend of the implementation of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, which allows for greenhouse gas emission reduction and other mitigation measures be implemented through international cooperation, the A6IP Center prepared a report based on the results of primary data collection as well as publicly available data (this is the first time to compile and publish the report from the Center).

The main highlights of this report are as follows:
● Many countries are in the preparation or consideration stage of implementing Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, while some are actively implementing.
● Many countries find the need to deepen their understanding of Article 6 of the
Paris Agreement, create national strategies, formulate policy frameworks, and
develop procedures and systems, and are working towards implementation.
● In addition, there is a growing awareness of the importance of promoting the
planning and implementation of specific emission reduction and absorption
projects in the implementation of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.

We hope that this report will visualize the implementation status of Article 6 and promote understanding and awareness. In addition, we plan to continue to monitor the situation, update the information as necessary, and widely disseminate this report so that it can be used to promote implementation in various fields.
