Unpacking the Paris Agreement Article 6 Implementation Status Report 2026

The webinar, Unpacking the Paris Agreement Article 6 Implementation Status Report, brought together report authors and partner organizations to discuss the latest trends and developments in the implementation of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. Discussions covered progress on Article 6.2 authorization, tracking, and reporting arrangements; bilateral cooperation and ITMO transfers; implementation of the Article 6.4 mechanism (PACM), including CDM transition and project pipelines; the role of independent crediting programmes and voluntary carbon markets; private sector perspectives on Article 6 and CORSIA; global capacity-building and implementation-support initiatives; and the integration of Article 6 into countries' latest NDCs.

Presentations from the report authors highlighted key trends, emerging challenges, and opportunities across the Article 6 landscape, with a particular focus on institutional readiness, market development, project implementation, and capacity building initiatives.

The webinar concluded with a panel discussion featuring representatives from the World Bank, UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre (UNEP-CCC), IETA, and IATA, who shared perspectives on scaling carbon market activity, improving market infrastructure, mobilizing private sector investment, and unlocking supply for both Article 6 and CORSIA-related activities.
