Official Side Event at COP29
The implementation of the cooperative approach under Article 6.2 is gaining momentum as more actors enter the space and gain experience. The side event provided an overview of the status of cooperation and current mitigation activities as well as measures for ensuring high integrity. The focus was on reflecting on challenges and lessons learned from the perspective of both acquiring and host countries as well as the private sector. This will help interested countries and activity owners to better understand the A6 mechanism and the role it can play for high-integrity carbon markets.
The report of the event is posted on IISD Earth Negotiations Bulletin (ENB).
