The Article 6.2 mechanism: Synergistic approach to contribute to NDCs implementation and SDG achievement

Article 6 of the Paris Agreement on cooperative approaches offers opportunities for Parties to voluntarily cooperate to promote NDC implementation, sustainable development and environmental integrity.

 

Market mechanisms including the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) have been delivering GHG emission reductions and co-benefits for Sustainable Development. The Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM), implemented under bilateral cooperation between Japan and partner countries, defines its objective as to promote diffusion of leading low- & zero-carbon technologies, to implement mitigation actions and to contribute to sustainable development.

 

Progress and potential of market mechanisms and the JCM for contributing to SDGs were shared and discussed.
