About this Event
Carbon markets have fallen short on contributing to climate mitigation, with less than 16% of credits delivering promised atmospheric impact. At the cusp of the largest international carbon market seen to date under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, it is imperative that we learn the lessons from the past, ensuring that carbon market transactions translate to real and meaningful mitigation and are not used as a smokescreen for countries and companies to shirk their decarbonisation responsibilities or meet their international climate finance obligations.
On this basis, we are proud to launch the Article 6 Observatory — an independent consortium of leading academics and civil society experts dedicated to providing evidence-based analysis of both the structure and use of Article 6. Created early on in the era of Article 6 operationalisation, this observatory will independently trace its potential to shape the success or failure of the Paris Agreement.
